Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The Quality and Affordable Care Act creates incentives for nurses to seek advanced
education. This legislation does not create a uniform scope of practice for PNs and RNs or
advocate the elimination of general practice physicians. As well, the act does not establish
mandatory overtime for nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The existence of a large number of diverse organizations for nurses is, in many
ways, a reflection of nursing itself. The profession offers a wide variety of employment
opportunities to its members, with distinct and varied contributions and interests in healthcare.
When nurses become committed to a particular specialty group, they have a tendency to want to
advance the purposes and interests of the people working in that area. This variety and diversity
is reflected in the number of nursing organizations. It is not necessarily a result of competition,
outside influences, or the variety of legislation that affects nursing practice.
