Answer to Question 1

2. Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)

Rationale:
The CCNE accredits baccalaureate and graduate degree nursing programs. The NLN accredits nursing programs at all levels, including LVN and LPN. Both of these offer voluntary accreditation. The NCLEX is the licensure examination administered by each state, and the NCSBN is the council to which all state boards of nursing belong.

Answer to Question 2

2. Recognition and acceptance

Rationale:
Stage 2 of family recovery is one of recognition and acceptance. As it becomes more evident that there is a significant problem, the family begins to search for reasons and solutions by gathering available information. Families begin to develop their own image of the disease process and expectations of mental health professionals. Many families also hope for what was in the past and for what might be in the future. Personal and political advocacy occurs in the final stage of recovery. Coping and competence, not recognition or acceptance, occur in Stage 3.
