Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Professional organizations speak to nurses on various topics and may have some influence on ideas regarding nursing care, but longer lifespans, increased incidence of chronic illness, and new family structures have dramatically affected where and how nurses practice. Litigation is significant, but has not had a central role in shaping the profession.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The ANA's 1965 resolution prompted the 1985 ANA statement adopting the titles of associate nurse (a nurse prepared in an associate degree program with an emphasis on technical practice) and professional nurse (a nurse possessing the baccalaureate degree in nursing) for these two levels. Master's and doctoral prepared nurses possess higher degrees and expertise.
