Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: Answer option 4 is the correct answer because the hospital can countersue the nurse if a grievous error is committed. While the hospital might carry insurance for the nurse, it does not cover the nurse when working outside of the facility, such as in screening clinics, in parish nursing, or providing care at the scene of an accident. Nurses can be and are frequently included in lawsuits as well as doctors and hospitals. While all nurses strive to provide safe and effective nursing care, accidents and mistakes can happen. Liability insurance helps to protect the nurse in those situations.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Nightingale believed nurses should never stop learning.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
