Answer to Question 1

D
AAN established a Task Force on Nursing Practice in 1983 . The purpose of this task force was to identify key workplace characteristics that were instrumental in the recruitment and retention of hospital nurses. The result of this task force was the development of the Magnet Recognition Program, which identified facilities that demonstrated high nurse satisfaction, low nurse staff turnover, and low nurse vacancy rates.

Answer to Question 2

B
The purpose of the education council is to assess staff learning needs, and develop and implement evidence-based programs to meet those needs. Clinical practice councils establish nursing practice standards for a unit. Quality councils make recommendations regarding staffing, hiring, promoting, and credentialing nursing staff, and oversee quality management initiatives and activities. The nursing coordinating council's role is to oversee, facilitate, and integrate the activities of the other councils.
