Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Future of Nursing report contains four key messages. One of the key messages is that nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training. Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care addresses potential causes of disparities in health care. Keeping Patients Safe: Transforming the Work Environment addresses critical quality and safety issues with a particular focus on nursing care and nurses, and examines these issues from the perspective of the work environment. Priority Areas for National Action identified 19 priority areas that should be addressed to improve quality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The only organization that offers a certification that this nurse is qualified to obtain is the Certified Case Manager (CCM) through the CMSA. The ANCC certification requires that the nurse has completed a minimum of 2000 clinical practice hours in case management nursing within the past year. Having worked only 6 months as a case manager, the nurse would not meet this minimum criterion. The ANA and CMS do not offer certification for case managers.
