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

ANS: D
, lOMoARcPSD| 12263423
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 Anesthetist
ANS: D

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
, lOMoARcPSD| 12263423
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

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

Breckenridge initially provided Appalachia with nursing resources and
which type of advanced nursing care?
a. Pediatric care
b.Anesthesia
c. Midwifery
, lOMoARcPSD| 12263423
d. Surgical services

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 American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) in 1969?
a. American Association of Nurse-Midwives (AANM)
b. American Nurses Association (ANA)
c. Association for National Nurse-Midwifery (ANNM)
d. Council of Nursing Midwifery (ANM)
ANS: A
The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) formed under the leadership of

formed and the two organizations merged in 1969 after the death of Mary
Breckenridge.
10. In a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court as a result of Chalmers-Frances v.
Nelson, 1936, what legal precedent was established?
a. Nurse anesthesia was allowed under the nurse practice act
b. Nurse anesthesia scope of practice included anesthesia
c. Nurse anesthesia was legal, if under guidance of a supervising
physician d. Only trained nursing professionals could administer
anesthesia independently
ANS: C
The landmark decision from the Chalmers-Frances v. Nelson case set national
