Answer to Question 1

B
The Pew Charitable Trusts is a philanthropic foundation that supplies grants for health care demonstration projects, research studies, and training and education of health care professionals.
The National Institutes of Health do provide funding for health-related projects, but most are research studies.
The state board of nursing is involved in regulation of nursing practice, not funding studies.
The Surgeon General's office works to ensure health programs that affect the nation as a whole are effective.

Answer to Question 2

A
Members of a profession come to group consensus on what they consider ethical actions; then each individual nurse is responsible for making sure his or her practice incorporates these good actions as conceptualized by the group.
Professional ethics, although acted on by individual nurses, reflect the professional group's consensus of what is ethical.
One requirement for an occupation to be considered a profession is the existence of a professional code of conduct that guides the members of that group.
The goals of a profession do partially determine what is considered ethical or nonethical action.
