Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, E

The American Nurses Association (ANA) recognized the influence and contribution of the science of caring to nursing philosophy and practice. Nursing is complex and involves the interrelationship among nurses, nursing, the client, the environment, and the intended client outcome. Florence Nightingale defined nursing nearly 150 years ago. The nurse is concerned with both healthy and ill individuals. The ANA says that nursing is adaptable to the needs of the individual, the family, and community during health and illness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Participating in a mentoring relationship requires the work and time of both the mentor and protg involved. The mentee and mentor can follow four phases when working with each other to achieve the best outcomes for both parties: initiation (6-12 months) where expectations are discussed, goals and objectives are set, and a plan is developed; cultivation (2-5 years), where the plan is implemented and assistance is received for achievement with professional development goals and expectations; separation (6-24 months following relationship change), where the relationship changes from protg to peer, a job changes, independence occurs, or someone moves away; and redefinition (follows separation) where the relationship is redefined and either continues or slowly dissolves over time.
