Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Each individual state has regulatory control of the practice of APN. Therefore, this has placed different restrictions on the scope of practice of the APN, resulting in the lack of prescriptive authority from state to state, and the lack of eligibility for reimbursement from third-party payers. Advanced practice nurses are recognized in all 50 states in the United States, and APNs fill a need for quality primary care services at an affordable cost to clients in both rural and urban settings. Many APNs are certified by national professional organizations that have developed educational and experimental criteria for specialty certification. APN licensure requires graduate degree preparation as educational preparation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Certified Nurse-Midwives focus on well-women health care, management of pregnancy, childbirth, antepartum and postpartum care, along with health promotion for childbearing women. Nurse practitioners manage a wide range of health problems through physical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and patient/family education and counseling; their priority areas of focus are primary care and health promotion. Clinical nurse specialists are skilled in management of complex patient health care problems in various clinical specialty areas through direct care, consultation, research, and education. Nurse anesthetists are knowledgeable and skilled in taking care of individuals in all age-groups undergoing surgical procedures; their skill set includes, preoperative assessment, administration of anesthesia, and management of postanesthesia recovery.
