Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Enacted law includes all bills passed by legislative bodies; nurse practice acts in the
various states are examples of enacted law at the state level. A nurse practice act is not an
example of constitutional law or common law. Judicial law consists of decrees or judgments
from the courts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Certification in a particular nursing specialty has the potential to increase a nurse's
opportunities in that field. Passion, networking, and research may all be of some benefit, but
certification is more likely to create tangible career opportunities.
