p p p p p p p p p p


nurses’ associations, professional nursing organizations, and educational and health care
p p p p p p p p p p


institutions. In-service education programs are instruction or training provided by a health
p p p p p p p p p p p p


care agency or institution designed to increase the knowledge, skills, and competencies of
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


nurses and other health care professionals employed by the institution. Some roles for RNs in
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


nursing require advanced graduate degrees, such as a clinical nurse specialist or nurse

ANS: B p


Autonomy is essential to professional nursing and involves the initiation of independent
p p p p p p p p p p p


nursing interventions without medical orders. Accountability means that you are
p p p p p p p p p p


professionally and legally responsible for the type and quality of nursing care provided. To
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


obtain licensure in the United States, RN candidates must pass the NCLEX-RN® examination
p p p p p p p p p p p p p


administered by the individual State Boards of Nursing to obtain a nursing license. Beyond
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


the NCLEX-RN®, some nurses choose to work toward certification in a specific area of
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p


nursing practice.
