Answer to Question 1

D
A nurse changing roles would be expected to experience resocialization, in which the nurse needs to redefine his or her professional identity to fit the new role. Administrative support in adapting to the new role via socialization is crucial to a successful transition.
Learning the unspoken rules of the new role might be important depending on the organizational culture in which the nurse has taken an administrative role, but it would not be the best choice.
Managing time and other people effectively is not the best choice because there is no information here suggesting that part of the new role includes directly managing others.
Obtaining information about the new job would be important, but it would not be the best choice.

Answer to Question 2

D
BSN programs were often hampered by the lack of faculty prepared to teach at the collegiate level, which led to a reluctance of colleges and universities to establish BSN programs. Doctoral programs have been preparing nurse scholars and researchers, who have contributed to nursing's scientific backbone. The rise in these programs can be seen as a parallel development with the rise in BSN programs.
The proliferation of advanced degrees in nursing is not the result of degree inflation; rather, it is a response to the increased sophistication and complexity of the health care environment today.
Although nurses today do enjoy better pay and improved social status than in the past, this trend is not strongly correlated to the rise in BSN programs.
Men in nursing are not a driving force for the increase in BSN programs.
