Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A This is not true.
B Advanced practice nurses' roles have changed dramatically, and they are being used for routine health decisions.
C This is not true.
D This is not true.

Answer to Question 2

C
Threatening to touch (or treat) another person without his consent is a definition of assault. By
threatening to give the patient an enema he will never forget if he is not quiet, the new nursing
graduate has threatened to give a treatment (enema) against his will. Battery is the actual act of giving
the enema (treatment), and defamation is the act of giving intentionally false information,
communication, or publication such as making a statement that could cause a patient to lose his job.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
