Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Codes of ethics give general guidelines for how the profession believes ethical care should be delivered. There are no specific guidelines for cases in general duty or in critical situations and no guidelines for specific cases.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

To be eligible to take the certification exam, the nurse must demonstrate extensive experience and continuing education in the specialty area. Although there is no guarantee that the nurse's salary will be increased, healthcare agencies do recognize these certifications. There is no requirement that the nurse hold a specialty certification to work in a hospital; however, work in specialty areas, such as the emergency department, critical care areas, or surgery, may require certification.
