Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative to respond to reports about safety and quality patient care by the IOM. The QSEN initiative encompasses the competencies of patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics. Health policy is health related issues at the government level, not a competency.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Professions possess the following characteristics:
 An extended education of members and a basic liberal education foundation
 A theoretical body of knowledge leading to defined skills, abilities, and norms
 Provision of a specific service
 Autonomy in decision making and practice
 A code of ethics for practice
Practice developments are not a characteristic of a profession, but are essential for nurses to stay current by gaining new knowledge about the latest research and practice developments.
