: \ABCN \introduced \the \DNP \degree \in \2004 \to \prepare \advanced \practice \nurses
\(APRNs) \to \meet \challenges \and \standardize \practice \beyond \master’s \degree \programs.
2. Which \of \the \following \is \the \best \explanation \for \the \creation \of \the \Doctorate \of
\Nursing\Practice \(DNP) \ degree?
a. To \compete \against \master’s \degree \programs
b. To \ensure \standardized \curriculum \ensuring \independent \practice
c. To \validate \APRN’s \for \financial \reimbursement
d. To \address \increasing \curriculum \requirements \of \master’s \degree \programs
ANS: \ D
Although \all \answers \are \influenced \by \the \DNP \core \competencies, \the \DNP \program \creation
\in\2004 \by \the \AACN \was \designed \to \address \curriculum \requirements \of \master’s \degree \programs.
3. Which \of \the \following \was \the \first \recognized \area \of \advanced \practice \ nursing?
a. Clinical \Nurse \Specialist
b. Family \nurse \practitioner
c. Pediatric \nurse \practitioner
d. Certified \Registered \Nurse \Anesthetis
,NS: \ D
In \1931, \the \National \Association \of \Nurse \Anesthetists \(NANA), \renamed \in \1939 \to \the
\American \Association \of \Nurse \Anesthetists \(AANA) \was \the \first \recognized \group
\promoting \advanced \nursing \practice. \Agatha \Hodgins \founded \the \AANM \at \Lakeside
\Hospital \in \Cleveland, \Ohio.
4. Which \factor \is \broadly \perceived \to \solidify \and \standardize \the \role \of \the \APNs \over \the
\last\25 \years?
a. Lack \of \access \to \health \care \providers
b. Standardized \curriculum \development
c. Payment \for \services
d. Societal \forces
ANS: \ B
As \the \evolution \of \Advanced \Practice \Nursing \advances \specific \specialties \and \needs \are
\identified. \Through \the \evolution \of \organization \and \standardization \these \roles \have
\solidified \the \APN’s \role \in \today’s \health \care \environment.
5. During \the \formation \of \early \APN \roles \in \anesthesia, \which \of \the \following
\increased\demand \for \access \to \health \ care?
a. Poverty
b. War
c. Rural \access \to \care
d. Availability \of \training
ANS: \ B
Earliest \demand \for \nursing-provided \anesthesia \spiked \during \periods \of \war \when \numbers
\of \physicians \were \inadequate. \The \earliest \records \date \back \to \the \American \Civil \War
\with \the \administration \of \chloroform. \During \World \War \I \in \1917 \more \than \1000 \nurses,
\some \trained \anesthetists, \traveled \into \battle. \Other \factors \such \as \need \for \rural \health \care
\came \later \in \the \validation \and \need \for \APNs.
6. In \1889, \Dr. \William \Worrall \Mayo \built \and \opened \St. \Mary’s \hospital \in \Rochester, \NY.
\He\is \known \for \some \of \the \earliest \recruitment \and \specialized \training \of \nurses \in \which
\of \the\following \roles?
a. Pediatrics
b. Anesthesia
c. Obstetrics
d. Research \and \statistics
e. Family \nursing
, ANS: \ B
In \1889, \Dr. \William \Worrall \Mayo \began \formally \training \and \recognizing \nurse
\anesthetists. \This \has \been \regarded \as \the \earliest \training \in \nurse-provided \anesthesia.
7. In \1893, \Lillian \Wald \established \the \Henry \Street \Settlement \(HSS) \House \for \which \purpose?
a. Access \to \health \care \of \rural \areas
b. Create \inner-city \nursing \awareness
c. Provide \the \disadvantaged \access \to \ care
d. Establish \guidelines \for \advanced \nursing \ roles
ANS: \ C
The \HHS \was \established \to \provide \nursing \services \to \immigrants \and \low-income \patients
\and \their \families \in \Manhattan. \As \resistance \to \nurse-provided \care \grew, \standing \orders
\were \drafted \from \a \group \of \Lower \East \Side \physicians \thereby \circumventing \then-
existing \legal \ramifications.
8. The \Frontier \Nursing \Service \(FNS) \founded \in \Kentucky \in \1925 \by \Mary \Breckenridge
\initially \provided \Appalachia \with \nursing \resources \and \which \type \of \advanced \nursing
\care?
a. Pediatric \care
b. Anesthesia
c. Midwifery
d. Surgical \services
ANS: \ C
The \original \FNS \provided \nursing \services \and \obstetric \services \to \Appalachian \residents.
\Later \working \from \standard \orders \developed \from \their \medical \advisory \committee \nurses
\treated \patients, \made \diagnoses, \and \dispensed \ medications.
9. Which \organization \founded \in \1941 \under \Mary \Breckenridge’s \leadership \merged \with \the
