Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The nurse is practicing collaboration by working with the other staff members to implement a policy change. Collaboration involves working with the client, the family, and others in the conduct of nursing practice. Collegiality describes interaction with and contributions to the professional development of peers and colleagues, which is what a mentoring relationship would involve. Leadership provides direction in a professional practice setting. Evaluation involves a comparison between one's own nursing practice and professional practice standards.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The nurse has the responsibility to ensure the client has access to healthcare services that meet health needs. Although the client does have the right to make choices and decisions, the nurse volunteering at a free clinic to provide health care to the underinsured does not demonstrate this value. Although the client does have the right to expect a nurse-client relationship based on shared respect, the nurse volunteering at a free clinic to provide health care to the underinsured does not demonstrate this value. The nurse's responsibility to make choices and decisions is not one of the values basic to client advocacy.
