Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
These codes provide general ethical principles and guide personnel in thinking about the under-lying ethics of the profession. They do not provide answers for ethical dilemmas, only serve as a guide. They do not increase moral leadership, nor do they provide a framework for ethical deci-sion making.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nurses should participate in implementing new directions for health care and help envision these new directions. Nurses can be an important voice in advocating for access to consistent, effec-tive, and efficient health care for all. This is best accomplished by performing interventions at the population level.
