Answer to Question 1

C
Nursing is an art and a science by which people are assisted in learning to care for themselves whenever possible and cared for by others when they are unable to meet their own needs. Nursing has evolved from an unstructured method of caring for the ill to a scientific profession. Nursing combines critical-thinking skills with caring behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

A
The National Commission for Manpower study, released in 1977, resulted in amendments to Title XVIII of the Social Security Act that provided payment for rural health services, and substituted the term primary care provider for physician extenders and therefore allowed nurse practitioners to be paid directly for their services.
