Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Nurse practice acts regulate the practice of nursing in the United States and Canada. Each state and each province has its own act. Nurses are responsible for knowing their state's nurse practice act, as it governs their practice. The ANA is the professional organization of nursing, the NLN is responsible for accrediting schools of nursing, and the NCSBN handles licensure of professional nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Collegiality describes interaction with and contributions to the professional development of peers and colleagues, which is what a mentoring relationship would involve. Collaboration involves working with the client, the family, and others in the conduct of nursing practice. Leadership provides direction in a professional practice setting, and evaluation involves a comparison between one's own nursing practice and professional practice standards.
