Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, F
The principle of nonmaleficence is based on doing no harm. As a new graduate, you must always
work within your Standards of Nursing Practice, observe all safety rules and precautions, perform
procedures according to facility protocols, and keep your education and skills up to date with
competency building and life-long learning. In addition, you must never give out information or
perform duties you are not qualified to do, always keep areas safe from hazards, never take shortcuts,
and always ask an appropriate person about anything you are unsure of.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should refine the Internet search with filters. Filtering is mechanically blocking Internet
content from being retrieved through the identification of key words and phrases.
