Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should work with the state nurses association in that state because state legislatures typically are the level of government to regulate nursing working environments, including staffing levels.
Mandatory staffing issues are typically taken up at the state level.
The American Nurses Association is a strong force to join, but staffing levels are typically mandated at the state level.
A city ordinance would not be an effective way to ensure safe staffing levels.

Answer to Question 2

C
Critical thinking in nursing is used to make sound clinical judgments and, after considering all plausible alternatives, to determine course of action most likely to be effective.
Critical thinking aids the patient, whether that patient (client) is a person, a family, or a group. It is used to meet the patient's needs, not to compete with other health care professionals.
Critical thinking may be used when theorists examine the components of a theory in progress, but this is not the primary goal.
Judging the value of actions, or evaluation, is part of the critical thinking process, but this is not the goal.
