Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Tasks can be delegated, but accountability cannot; nurses who delegate tasks to
assistive personnel continue to be accountable for that care. Many nurses experience frustration
because they must be accountable for activities without the authority to affect the situation or
create change. Authority is often shared in contemporary care settings. Nurses are legally
responsible for the care they provide and are vulnerable to malpractice suits.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Examples of mind-body medicine include relaxation exercises, hypnosis,
meditation, dance, prayer, visualization, and biofeedback. Biologically-based practices focus on
food and dietary supplements while indigenous medicine applies the collective health
knowledge of a particular culture. Manipulative practices involve the systematic application of
touch.
