has changed the scope of practice and the approach to treating the individual.
2) Compare and contrast the differentiated practice competencies between an
associate and baccalaureate education in nursing. Explain how scope of
practice changes between an associate and baccalaureate nurse.
3) Identify a patient care situation and describe how nursing care, or
approaches to decision-making, differ between the BSN-prepared nurse and
the ADN nurse.
4) Discuss the significance of applying evidence-based practice to nursing care
and explain how the academic preparation of the RN-BSN nurse supports its
application.
Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with interdisciplinary
teams and how this supports safer and more effective patient outcomes.
