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.

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?

anesthetists, traveled into battle. Other factors such as need for rural health care came later in the
validation and need for APNs.
