Answer to Question 1

D
Refusing to permit the patient to walk without assistance is an appropriate nursing intervention. Administering the wrong medication is an act of commission; failure to obtain informed consent is negligence. Taking a picture of a patient without his or her consent is considered invasion of privacy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Options a, b, and d are true. Avoiding the delegation of tasks is not realistic.
