Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Community leaders, politicians, and consumers all would be stakeholders and would be included in the evaluation process. Healthcare providers employed by other health systems would not be stakeholders in this initiative and would not need to be included in the evaluation process. Because policy changes are made by the health system, the hospital and clinic personnel employed there would not evaluate the effectiveness of policy without participation by the community. Consumers are part of the process, but would not be the only evaluation group.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

A nursing student is held to the standard of conduct of an experienced, licensed professional nurse. Students are required to know the standards and to follow them. Hospitals do not generally sue nurses to recover money for extended care due to an error. It is not likely that the teaching program is in danger as people do make mistakes and hospitals do rely on nursing schools to help provide care to clients. It is not likely that the other students are apt to follow the example of a student who fails to follow policy.
