Answer to Question 1

D
Three requirements for a trade or vocation, such as nursing, to be considered a profession are a long
period of specialized education, a service orientation, and the ability to be autonomous (able to be
self-regulating and have control over their functions in a work situation). The use of evidence-based
guidelines and standards promote effective and quality nursing care, and their incorporation into a
nurse's everyday practice is called evidenced-based nursing practice.
