Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nursing workforce is 83 white. Because of the large percentage of white nurses this does not meet the needs of the country's demographics. Unauthorized immigrants and refugees do not make up a part of the nursing workforce.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Keep the client (group, community) properly informed, maintain client confidentiality, and carry out instructions with diligence and competence are ethical principles for effective advocacy. The nurse should act impartially and offer frank, independent advice, which does not necessarily mean that advice should be provided to all members of the community.
