Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4

Rationale 1: Lifelong learning would be a personal goal or plan.

Rationale 2: When providing care, the student nurse should focus on client safety.

Rationale 3: When providing care, the student nurse should focus on client confidentiality.

Rationale 4: When providing care, the student should ensure professionalism.

Rationale 5: Collaboration with students and faculty would promote professional development.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The CCNE accredits baccalaureate- and graduate-degree nursing programs. The NLN accredits nursing programs at all levels, including LVN and LPN. Both of these offer voluntary accreditation. The NCLEX is the licensure examination administered by each state, and the NCSBN is the council to which all state boards of nursing belong.
