Answer to Question 1
B
The best way to avoid being liable for malpractice is to give nursing care that meets the generally accepted standard of care. In a malpractice lawsuit the law uses nursing standards of care to measure nursing conduct and determine whether the nurse acted as any reasonably prudent nurse would act under the same or similar circumstances. Purchasing insurance, not sharing last name, and not delegating tasks are not appropriate behaviors to avoid malpractice.
Answer to Question 2
B
Displacement is transferring emotions, ideas, or wishes from a stressful situation to a less anxiety-producing substitute. Compensation is making up for a deficiency in one aspect of self-image by strongly emphasizing a feature considered an asset. Denial is avoiding emotional conflicts by refusing to consciously acknowledge anything that causes intolerable emotional pain. Dissociation is experiencing a subjective sense of numbing and a reduced awareness of one's surroundings.
