Answer to Question 1

C
Wyers, Grove, and Pastorino's (1985) essential criteria for clinical nurse specialists are serving as a
practitioner, teacher, consultant, and researcher, developing an in-depth knowledge base, serving as a
role model, and demonstrating clinical expertise in a selected area of clinical practice (not all areas).

Answer to Question 2

C
A review of the literature should be completed prior to strategic planning or beginning any new project
or program. This allows the project team to identify similar programs, their structure and organization,
their potential problems and pitfalls, and their successes.
