QUESTION

Which role can be practiced without an advanced nursing education degree?

1. Nurse-midwife
2. Nurse practitioner
3. Clinical nurse specialist
4. Nurse administrator

ANSWER:

Correct Answer: 4

The nurse must decide whether to pursue a graduate degree in nursing or a graduate degree in another field. Some nurses who want to become administrators in healthcare organizations may choose a graduate degree in business or healthcare administration. The advanced practice nurse (APN) is an umbrella term for the registered nurse who has met advanced education and clinical practice requirements. In the U.S., this umbrella covers four principal types of APNs; certified nurse-midwives (CNM), clinical nurse specialists (CNS), certified registered nurse-anesthetists (CRNA), and nurse practitioners (NP).
