Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Networking can help the nurse improve client care by learning techniques that other nurses employ to achieve goals. New products on the market are usually introduced by the hospital, although suggestions could be gleaned from others. Improved client care is the main goal. Other nurses in a network are not likely to inform the nurse regarding hospital policy. The history of nursing is interesting, but would not be the main reason for being involved in a professional organization.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C

Mentoring is a process that can promote the personal and professional growth of both mentor and protg. Mentors usually are of the same gender, 8-14 years older, and have a position of authority in the organization.
