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 Anaesthetist
ANS: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.
