ANS: C
Varying educational, competency, and practice standards have
complicated clarifying the work and core competencies of all CNSs,
regardless of specialty. The failure of the Bureauv of Labor Statistics to track
CNS providers only creates barriers when it comes to counting the number
of CNSs in the United States.

ANS: A
The ANCC surveyed ACNP clinicians and identified top work activities for
the AG-ACNP role. These activities were organized by criticality, or
importance of the skill and determined by the requirement to perform the
skill accurately each time, as a novice NP, and based on
the risk of harm by performing the skill incorrectly. Maintaining patient
privacy and confidentiality scored highest.
Which of the following is reducing the restrictions of access to consultations for
patients with complex or high-risk conditions, effectively reducing the burden of
