Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The scope of professional identity in nursing includes: autonomy, knowledge, competence, professionalism, accountability, advocacy, collaborative practice, and commitment. Cultural sensitivity is important to professional nursing; however, culture is an inherent quality of nurses and patients, not a component of the professional identity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The ANA's Nursing's Social Policy Statement outlines expectations of nurses. The national Gallup poll has found nursing to be one of the most trusted professions for their honesty and ethical standards almost every year, but it does not outline expectations. Emma Goldman was a radical anarchist nurse who advocated and cared for indigent women in New York. She demonstrated the expectations of a professional nurse. Social identity theory posits that social identity is derived from group membership and that most people work to attain a positive social identity, and it not specific to nursing.
