Ice should not be applied but rather cool compresses.
Answer to Question 2
1. An RN with an associate degree who has a head nurse position
Rationale:
According to the ANA's proposal, only the baccalaureate graduate would be licensed under the legal title registered nurse. The graduate with an associate degree or diploma would be considered a technical nurse. If the ANA proposal is implemented, nurses who are currently licensed and educated in associate degree or diploma programs would have to be considered under a grandfather clause, provided that their performance meets established standards. If an institution required a minimum of a baccalaureate degree for the position of head nurse, an RN who is currently employed as a head nurse but who does not hold the baccalaureate degree would have no guarantee of retaining that position.
