Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Today, professional nursing education begins at the undergraduate level, with a growing number of nurses choosing graduate studies to support differentiated practice roles and/or research opportunities. Nurses are prepared to function as advanced practice nurse practitioners, administrators, and educators.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A

Historically, nursing is as old as mankind. Originally practiced informally by religious orders dedicated to care of the sick and later in the home by female caregivers with no formal education, nursing was not identifiable as a distinct occupation until the 1854 Crimean war. There, Florence Nightingale's Notes on Nursing introduced the world to the functional roles of professional nursing and the need for formal education.
