Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: The ANA Code of Ethics outlines the nurse's obligation to provide clinically competent, patient-centered care in accordance with ethical and legal principles. In clinical practice, ethical and legal standards are intertwined, yet distinct. In general, ethics dictate what nurses should do, whereas laws mandate what nurses must do. Neither type of standards outweighs the other.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: The Code of Ethics does not provide nurses with the right answers to the ethical challenges faced in practice. Rather, it is intended to provide a framework to guide nurses in solving ethical conflicts. The Code of Ethics does evaluate or provide options for solving ethical dilemmas.
