A
According to Pavalko, education is one of the eight dimensions used to describe a profession, as in professional nursing. Altruism, social values and the Code of Ethics are not considered to be the forefront of discussion about nursing's professionalism. Although the other options also are part of Pavalko's eight dimensions, nursing still continues to debate the educational entry level for professional nursing, since the 1965 ANA position paper. There is agreement about the re-levance the profession has to social values, altruism, and having a code of ethics.
