Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Beneficence is doing good. Veracity is truth telling. Nonmaleficence is duty to do no harm. Fidelity is faithfulness.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Role stress is made worse by role ambiguity, role conflict, role incongruity, role overload or underload, and by role over- or underqualification. Having clear and consistent information about expectations of the new role is helpful and combats role ambiguity. Taking on multiple roles can result in role ambiguity and overload. Nursing standards of care are universal and are not different in the real world, even though the standards may not be upheld by overworked, overstressed nurses. Role stress is not limited to newly licensed nurses and can occur at any time during a nurse's career.
