Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Differentiated nursing practice can be defined as the practice of structuring nursing
roles on the basis of education, experience, and competence. It does not necessarily specify the
provision of care in diverse settings, evidence of continuing education, or the possession of a
nursing degree.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Mandatory continuing education affects licensure, meaning that any nurse renewing
a license in a state requiring (mandating) continuing education will have to satisfy that
requirement. However, this does not necessarily mean that a nurse must update his or her
degree or diploma or undertake practice improvements.
