Answer to Question 1

C
A nurse who functions proficiently is considered to be in Stage III of the Colorado Differentiated Practice Model clinical ladder. A nurse in Stage IV is considered to be an expert. A nurse in Stage I is considered to be at the entry or learning level, and a nurse who is at Stage II is considered to be competent and demonstrates acceptable performance.
