Answer to Question 1

D
Nurses who are expert witnesses define safe and prudent care. The nurse practice act (response B) assists in that definition along with the nurse's credentials (response A) and job descriptions (response C), but these are only guidelines that assist the expert witness in defining care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response B is an example of an assertive response. It describes the situation and the person's feelings. Responses A, C, and D all are aggressive responses.
