An undergraduate nursing dean is expecting a site visit from the school's accrediting agency
To ensure that the school meets the agency's objectives for accreditation, it would be most important that the dean would assess whether course work provided opportunities for students in
a. different types of health care organizations and levels of care.
b. mastering basic science concepts as they apply to nursing care.
c. providing charitable care through nurse-run clinics and offices.
d. working with community-based clients and regional health needs.
D
The two agencies that accredit schools of nursing (the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) require undergraduate nursing programs to tailor their curricula to local and regional health care needs. Having the ability to work within several different types of agencies providing multiple levels of care is a good skill but is not one of the specific requirements of the two accreditation agencies.
Students do need a mastery of basic science skills in order to advance to more sophisticated concepts, but this is not a specific requirement of the accreditation agencies.
Nurse-run clinics are an increasingly used method of providing care and educating students, but they are not a specific requirement of accreditation agencies.
