Answer to Question 1

C
Legitimate power is derived from an academic degree, licensure, certification, experience in the role, and the job title in the organization. This can be demonstrated by the nurse wearing or displaying the symbols of the professional standing, such as licensure and certifications.

Answer to Question 2

D
The ANA protects, defends, and educates nurses about their rights as employees under the law. The ANA also addresses the growing number of occupational hazards that threaten nurses, such as needle stick injuries, latex sensitivity, back injuries, and violence. The ANA is a leader in promoting improved work environments and the value of nurses as professionals, essential providers, and decision makers in all practice settings.
