Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When a DNR order is written in the chart, the nurse has a duty to follow the order. Questioning the doctor, seeking advice from the family, and discussing it with the patient are not legal obligations of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse has an ethical and legal duty to protect information about a patient and preserve confidentiality. Some disclosures are legal and anticipated, and may not be subject to the rules of confidentiality. None of the information in a chart is considered secret.
