Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Currently, in the United States, the most common way to become a registered nurse (RN) is through completion of an associate's degree or baccalaureate degree program. Graduates of both programs are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to become registered nurses in the state in which they will practice. Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by universities, hospitals, state nurse associations, professional nursing organizations, and educational and health care institutions. In-service education programs consist of instruction or training provided by a health care agency or institution. An in-service program is held in the institution and is designed to increase the knowledge, skills, and competencies of nurses and other health care professionals. A nurse who is completing a graduate program can receive a master's degree in nursing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The practice of nurse midwifery involves providing independent care for women during normal pregnancy, labor, and delivery, as well as care for the newborn. As an independent practitioner, supervising physicians are not required by the certified nurse midwife (CNM). However, a CNM practices with a health care agency that provides medical consultation, collaborative management, and referral. After being apprised of the CNM role, if the patient insists on seeing a pediatrician, the nurse midwife should provide the referral.
