Answer to Question 1

C
The initial proposal for Magnet Hospital Recognition Program was approved by the ANA Board of
Directors in December 1990 . This proposal indicated that the program would be built upon the 1983
ANA magnet hospital study.

Answer to Question 2

D
Traditionally, health care providers have relied solely upon biochemical parameters and diagnostic
tests to determine if an intervention is needed or if a treatment was effective. However, in today's
society, there are other outcomes of care that matter most to patients such as quality of life, family,
work, and overall level of functioning, which are not reflected in these types of tests or procedures.
