Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

In 1965, the American Nurses Association published a position paper on education of nurses that differentiated nurses with baccalaureate degrees and nurses with associate degrees as professional and technical nurses. The other organizations listed did not publish such papers.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3

Changes in society have placed new demands on nurses. The population is aging and these older patients have more complex and varied health problems. New diseases related to social and environmental problems are being identified. Scientific discoveries and new technologies require the nurse to continually update his or her knowledge base in order to provide safe and competent care. Patients are going home from the hospital earlier (not staying longer), so much more care is being provided in community and outpatient settings. The population is aging so there is not a relative increase in the number of children in the population.
