Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Accreditation of a school of nursing is primarily based on the findings of nursing
experts who visit the institution and appraise the education that is provided. Other factors may
be considered, such as the success of graduates, the credentials of instructors, or the research
that is conducted, but the findings of external reviewers are paramount.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
A license is a legal credential awarded by an individual state that grants permission
to that individual to practice a given profession. A license is normally specific to a particular
jurisdiction. It does not denote advanced learning in a specific setting. Graduation from a
school of nursing is required for licensure, but a license does not explicitly document this
education.
