Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Magnet status is a certification offered by the ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) in which hospitals apply based on designated criteria that consider nurse job satisfaction, staff patterns, strength, quality of nursing staff, and open communication. It is not based on physician status. Although the expectation is that at least 80 of the nurses will have baccalaureate degrees, most hospitals that achieve Magnet status have 50 of RNs at that level. Also, certification is not required for all nurses at this point. The expectation with Magnet status is that nurses will continue to expand their knowledge by earning additional degrees and certification.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C

According to an Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, by the year 2020, there will only be 50 of RNs with baccalaureate degrees. The required demand is at 80. There are a larger proportion of older nurses in the workforce based on current research by the IOM. Increased RN-to-client ratios has resulted in decreased client mortality in the clinical setting. There are limitations of classroom and clinical facilities to train new nurses adequately.
