Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse practice act in each state defines nursing, describes its scope, and identifies its limits within that state.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Malpractice includes the following elements of nursing negligence: The nurse professional had a duty of due care toward the plaintiff; the nurse professional's performance fell below the standard of care and was, therefore, a breach of that duty; as a result of the failure to meet the standard of care, the plaintiff consumer was injured, and the nurse's action was the proximate cause of the injury; and the plaintiff consumer must prove his or her injuries.
