Answer to Question 1

C
If the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Board (AACN) leadership holds sway, the doctor of nursing practice (DNP) will be the requisite preparation for all advanced practice nursing roles, including the NP, CNS, certified nurse midwife, and certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), in the near future. It is not anticipated that there will be changes in federal funding for advanced education, a declining demand for advanced practice roles, or third-party payer restrictions on this type of practice in such a way that will guide advanced practice nursing roles as the requirement of a DNP will.

Answer to Question 2

D
A board action is taken only against the nurse's license and can include suspension or revocation.
