Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Subjective data are data that the client experiences that are not visible or measurable by the nurse. Clubbing fingertips, avoidance of eye contact, and vomiting are concrete and visible to the nurse, so they would be considered objective data.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: Answer option 1 is correct because the nurse had no legal duty to the victims of the accident, although it could be debated whether there was an ethical obligation to help. Option 2 is not correct, because the nurse had no duty to act and did not provide care. Option 3 is incorrect because there was no duty for the nurse to stop. There are states, and provinces in Canada, that do require any citizen to stop and give aid to those in danger. Option 4 is not correct, because the Good Samaritan law protects any person who aids a victim, provided she acts in a reasonable and prudent manner.
