Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Standards of professional performance describe a competent level of behavior in the professional role. Professional practice evaluation, Standard 9, is behavior that evaluates one's own nursing practice in relation to professional practice standards and guidelines, relevant statutes, rules, and regulations. Deciding to enhance one's current knowledge base, in relationship to one's own practice, would describe this standard. Quality of practice is a systematic approach to enhance the quality and effectiveness of nursing practice. Education is knowledge attainment and competency that reflects current nursing practice. Research integrates research findings into practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: A clinical nurse specialist has an advanced degree or expertise and is considered to be an expert in a specialized area of practice (oncology in this case). The nurse provides direct client care, educates others, consults, conducts research, and manages care. A nurse practitioner has an advanced education, is a graduate of a nurse practitioner program, and usually deals with nonemergency acute or chronic illness and provides primary ambulatory care. The nurse educator is responsible for classroom and often clinical teaching. A nurse entrepreneur usually has an advanced degree, manages a health-related business, and may be involved in education, consultation, or research.
