Answer to Question 1

B
National specialty organizations, such as the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, arose in response to the developing nursing specialties; these organizations offer continuing education, practice standards, and certification exams for their members.
Organizations that consist of nurse educators would be primarily concerned with nursing education.
State boards of nursing are charged with the legal oversight of nursing in their respective states.
State nurses associations are often lobbying and marketing organizations for nursing within a specific state and act as the state arms of the American Nurses Association.

Answer to Question 2

D
Certification by specialty nursing organizations recognizes the knowledge and clinical practices associated with high-quality practice in a specialty area of nursing.
Continuing education is vital and is required to maintain nursing licensure, but it will not ensure public and professional recognition for proficiency in a specialty area.
Gaining admission to a graduate degree program is admirable, but it will not reward current knowledge and skill with recognition. A higher degree focuses on attainment of new knowledge.
There are no secondary licenses.
