Answer to Question 1

D
Side effects are minimal, but dry mouth, photosensitivity, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dizziness can occur.

C
Collegiality means regarding other nurses as partners in caregiving who are valued and respected for their unique contributions regardless of educational, experiential, or specialty background. It suggests that nurses view themselves as members of a profession and that nurses trust, remain loyal to, and demonstrate commitment to other nurses.
