Answer to Question 1

D
The presence of a risk factor does not mean that a disease will develop, but risk factors increase the chances that the individual will experience a particular disease. Although genetics can be a risk factor, it does not mean the patient has a genetic disease. The patient does not need surgery for heart disease because risk factors only increase the probability of the disease occurring.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is the most independently functioning nurse. An APRN has a master's degree in nursing; advanced education in pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment; and certification and expertise in a specialized area of practice. There are four core roles for the APRN: clinical nurse specialist (CNS), nurse practitioner (NP), certified nurse midwife (CNM), and certified RN anesthetist (CRNA). Nurse managers do not require an advanced degree.
