Answer to Question 1

A
The ANA Code of Ethics articulates actions that exemplify the ethics of professional nursing. Although the code is not a list of behaviors, some activities are specified, and others can be inferred.
The ethics described in the ANA Code pertain to the profession of nursing, not just to members of the ANA.
The code does not contain a list and explanation of ethical principles.
The code is not a tool for problem solving.

Answer to Question 2

C
As new technologies and roles develop, nurses must continually reappraise their professional identities and ensure congruent socialization with emerging trends. History does give background and context for socialization but is not as important as adapting to the current state of affairs. Joining organizations, attending conferences, and being active on committees are all part of socialization and one's professional identity, but the larger scope of this concept revolves around maintaining a sound professional identity in the face of ongoing changes.
