ANS: C
The National Guidelines Clearinghouse (NGC), established by the Agency Health Research & Quality, was initiated in 1998 to establish evidence-based guidelines for evidence-based practice in the United States.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) was established to promote and uphold the educational standards of nursing education in the United States.
The purpose of the Certification of Colleges of Nursing Education (CCNE) is to accredit or certify colleges or schools of nursing in the United States.
The National League for Nursing (NLN) advocates for nursing practice, education and research, also is involved in accrediting schools and programs of nursing in the United States.
