Answer to Question 1

A
Both the federal government and state government have administrative laws that affect nursing. The Code of Federal Regulations has rules that health care organizations must adhere to if they are to qualify for federal funding. Likewise, state laws are interpreted in administrative rules that specify licensing requirements for health care providers in the state. Protecting employees from violence is covered under federal law and mandating requirements for nursing education is covered under state law.

Answer to Question 2

D
It is a well-established law throughout the United States that a master is subject to liability for the torts of the servants committed while acting in the scope of employment. The law is called the respondent superior. In other words, a hospital, nursing home, clinic, and so on are legally responsible for the damages caused by the negligence of their nurses.
