A) Collaboration with other health care providers
B) Education that goes beyond that of the RN

D) Ability to provide care in the surgical context


Ans: B
Feedback:
There is wide variety in APRN roles. However, a commonality is that they require education beyond that of the professional RN. All nurses collaborate with other health care providers to provide nursing care to their patients. Advanced documentation skills are not what sets advanced practice nurses apart from the staff nurse. RNs have the ability to provide care in the operating room.
