Answer to Question 1

C
Nonmaleficence means doing no harm to clients. A break in sterile technique could cause signif-icant harm to a patient by causing an infection. All other answers are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

C
Advocacy means making known and defending and protecting the rights and interests of others, as well as ensuring the dignity and respect due to others. Simply being employed in an environ-ment where this might be a focus of practice does not necessarily ensure that advocacy is actually occurring.
