MULTIPLE CHOICE
ANS: C
The existence of multiple entry paths for nursing education is confusing both
to the public and to aspiring nursing students, who may have difficulty
understanding and comprehending the differences and what they mean.
Diploma programs have declined sharply in number, with only 47 programs
remaining in the United States in 2013.
The ANA does not monitor different programs to evaluate congruency with
BSN programs.
States are not creating different licensure examinations for graduates of
different programs.
3. In analyzing trends within the profession that are correlated to the rise in
baccalaureate nursing (BSN) programs, the nurse historian would outline that
a. degree inflation is contributing to the demand for BSN programs.
b. increased social status and pay correspond to education at the college level.
c. men in nursing demand an increase in BSN programs compared with other
programs.
d. the rise in doctorally prepared nurses corresponds to an increase in BSN
programs.
ANS: D
BSN programs were often hampered by the lack of faculty prepared to teach
at the collegiate level, which led to a reluctance of colleges and universities to
establish BSN programs. Doctoral programs have been preparing nurse
scholars and researchers, who have contributed to nursing’s scientific
backbone. The rise in these programs can be seen as a parallel development
with the rise in BSN programs.
The proliferation of advanced degrees in nursing is not the result of degree
inflation; rather, it is a response to the increased sophistication and complexity
of the health care environment today.
Although nurses today do enjoy better pay and improved social status than in
the past, this trend is not strongly correlated to the rise in BSN programs.
Men in nursing are not a driving force for the increase in BSN programs.

ANS: D
BSN-prepared nurses are able to function as generalists and as entry-level
leaders in a multitude of settings, leading to the need for inclusion of topics
other than nursing care in their education.
Consumers are more educated today than before, but this is not germane to
the inclusion of these topics in nursing education.
Diversity is increasing, but this is not related to the need for education in
liberal arts and health care policy.
These topics are not taught so that nurses can teach their patients.
ANS: C
A large group of diploma and associate degree (ADN) nurses could benefit
from seamless entry points and BSN tracts designed especially for them.
Another group of potential BSN-prepared nurses consists of individuals
changing careers after completing degrees in other fields. Programs to address
the needs of these students have proliferated. RN-BSN and accelerated
nursing programs that are seamless and easy to navigate would go far in
helping nursing meet the goal of the National Advisory Council for Nursing
Education that at least two thirds of the nursing workforce hold a BSN or
higher degree. Programs that offer specialized tracts for RNs and second-
degree students would also help ease the nursing shortage because they are
typically shorter in duration.
Although the inclusion of community health nursing was an early differentiator
between diploma and BSN programs, BSN programs have expanded well
beyond this, and coursework for the BSN is more varied and complex than just
simply adding a course in community health nursing.
Bringing faculty and classes to major hospitals might make it more convenient
for non-BSN nurses to complete their degrees, but the logistics would be
difficult, and enrollment might be small. This also only capitalizes on the non-
BSN nurse working in hospitals and does not address the needs of second-
degree students or those employed in other settings.
Alternative days and times for classroom and clinical experiences may help
those who are juggling family or work commitments but would not address
current trends in nursing or specifically meet the needs of students with
diverse educational backgrounds.
ANS: A
The clinical practice doctorate in nursing is the DNP. This degree would
prepare the nurse to translate and apply knowledge to the clinical setting
rather than be responsible for generating new knowledge.
The DNSc (or DNS) degree is a research-focused degree culminating in
preparing and defending the student’s dissertation.
The PhD is another degree awarded to nurses completing a research-focused
doctoral level program. The holder of this degree must also prepare and

avait le nez de son oncle, un nez camus de vigneron ; mais sur toute
sa face s’imprimait une sérénité pure et presque sacerdotale.
— Vous êtes peintre, monsieur, disait-il à M. Rude, et je sais que
vous rendez à l’art chrétien son naïf réalisme d’autrefois.
Connaissez-vous le Saint Pierre d’Alcantara de Zurbaran ? Si je
vous en parle, c’est que mon pauvre ami Rovère me l’avait décrit :
un vieillard décharné, puissant, dans un grand manteau de bure, qui
tient une plume entre ses doigts et lève ses yeux vers une colombe
volant au-dessus de sa tête. Par sainte Thérèse, — je la lis
passionnément, — je le vois encore mieux que par le tableau. Il
avait, nous apprend-elle, vécu quarante ans, sans dormir, tant de
nuit que de jour, plus d’une heure et demie ; pour vaincre le sommeil,
il se tenait perpétuellement à genoux ou debout ; il prenait son
repos, assis, la tête appuyée contre un morceau de bois fixé dans le
mur. Il demeurait à l’ordinaire trois jours de suite sans manger. Son
corps était tellement exténué qu’il semblait n’être formé que de
racines d’arbres. Quand il vit que son terme approchait, il récita le
psaume : Lætatus sum, et, s’étant mis à genoux, il expira…
Pauline regardait celui qui, d’un ton calme, faisait ce portrait
presque effrayant d’un ascète. Il lui révélait des splendeurs
mystiques que Julien eût admirées, et, dès ses premières paroles,
l’entraînait en des régions supérieures à celles où elle vivait.
La conversation vint sur la musique, grâce à laquelle Authelin
composait des paysages intérieurs plus luxuriants que tous les
spectacles de la mer et des monts. L’ineffable, pour ce philosophe,
ne pouvait avoir de symbole plus vrai que certaines mélodies
d’église ; et il exprimait son enchantement d’une messe grégorienne
exécutée, le dimanche de Pâques, par les séminaristes, dans la
cathédrale.
— Chantez-nous, Pauline, pria M. Rude, cet Alléluia que vous
apprenez aux jeunes filles de Saint-Pierre.
La voix de Pauline, avec une netteté parfaite d’articulation,
déroula les linéaments sonores, d’une grâce indéfinie et radieuse,
tels que les contours fuyants de figures angéliques. Gabriel, extasié,
la supplia de recommencer.
— Rien, comme ce chant, dit-il, ne m’a donné la présence d’un
ciel lumineux.
Lorsque Mme Authelin et lui se retirèrent, Pauline se trouva sur
son passage. Dans une pensée de compassion admirative, elle lui
tendit la main ; il ne vit pas son geste, et elle sentit alors seulement
qu’il était aveugle…
Quelques mois plus tard, les premiers jours d’octobre, par un
dimanche tiède et limpide, Victorien et sa fille se promenaient dans
les champs, proche le Moulin du Roy. Là, aux creux de berges
touffues, la Vanne, d’un flot pressé, descend vers l’Yonne assoupie.
Ils s’assirent, près d’un petit pont, devant l’eau noire et brillante où
roulaient des feuilles mortes. Les grands peupliers, dont les tiges
s’inclinent pour boire la fraîcheur du courant, y répétaient l’or des
feuillages excité par le soleil qui passait entre leurs branches. En
face d’eux, poudroyait une clairière, blondie, jonchée de la dépouille
de vieux ormes ; d’autres arbres jeunes, ténus, semblaient se
volatiliser dans le ciel tendre, et divisaient l’espace plus indécis
d’une plaine encore verte, jusqu’à des collines rousses entrevues
sous une brume.
— Quel charme léger, vaporeux a l’automne de ces régions ! fit
Victorien, s’abandonnant à la douceur des nuances qu’inscrivaient
ses yeux. C’est dommage que les gens y soient si médiocres.
— Ils ne l’ont pas toujours été, répondit Pauline. Rappelle-toi le
Village de Raitif de la Bretonne : la ferme patriarcale, le père lisant, à
ses quinze enfants, le soir, une page de la Bible. Et, il y a quarante
ans, dans des villages de Bourgogne, pas très loin d’ici, M. Rude se
souvient d’avoir vu la même coutume encore en honneur. J’ai
confiance que ce pays renaîtra…
— Tu ne sais pas, interrompit Victorien, puisque tu parles de
Rude, quelle proposition bizarre on lui a faite pour toi… Aurais-tu, en
principe, une totale répugnance à l’idée d’un mariage avec Gabriel
Authelin ?
Pauline tressaillit, étant à mille lieues d’une pareille supposition.
— Me marier ! Je n’y songe guère… Avec la mort de Julien, tout
a été fini pour moi. Si j’acceptais un mariage, ce ne serait qu’un
mariage de dévouement. Voilà pourquoi je ne refuse pas tout de
suite, quand tu me parles de Gabriel Authelin. J’y réfléchirai…
— Je t’en ai dit un mot, reprit Victorien, parce que Gabriel est un
homme d’une haute valeur ; tu retrouveras difficilement quelqu’un qui
le vaille. Mais j’hésite à insister, parce que ce sera, pour toi et… pour
moi, un sacrifice quotidien, la vie avec un aveugle. Il ne connaîtra
jamais ton regard ni ta beauté.
— Oh ! dit-elle, ce n’est pas un obstacle invincible… A la
Résurrection, il me verra ; et, moi aussi, je verrai le jour dans ses
yeux. Alors, il n’y aura plus d’aveugles.
