Answer to Question 1

C
Interprofessional collaboration involves bringing representatives of the various disciplines to-gether to work with patients and families to deliver quality care. This brings different points of view to the table to identify, clarify, and solve complex patient problems. Nursing practice is all nursing areas involved in one's professional career. Staff communication involves sending a clear, accurate, and timely message to all members of the nursing staff; it focuses on nurses. Staff education involves planning in-service training sessions, sending staff members to professional conferences, and having staff members present case studies or practice issues during staff meetings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The student could opt for a baccalaureate nursing program. Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have the greatest flexibility in qualifying for nursing positions at both staff and managerial levels. Hospital-based diploma programs are 3-year courses and provide maximum exposure to clinical nursing. Students becoming nurses through the associate degree program would not be expected to work in a management position. Continuing nursing programs are on-the-job educational programs.
