Answer to Question 1

C
The proficient nurse focuses on managing care as opposed to managing and performing skills. The novice nurse deals with a specific set of rules or procedures, which are usually stepwise and linear. The competent nurse understands the organization and the specific care required by specific types of patients and has experience with psychomotor skills. The expert nurse identifies patient-centered problems, as well as problems related to the health care system.

Answer to Question 2

B
PhD programs emphasize basic research and theory and are research oriented. Professional doctoral programs in nursing (DSN or DNSc) prepare graduates to apply research findings to clinical nursing. The DNP is a practice doctorate that prepares advanced practice nurses such as nurse practitioners.
