Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

There are two kinds of legal actions: civil (private) actions and criminal actions. Civil actions deal with conflicts between individuals, whereas criminal actions deal with disputes between an individual and the society as a whole. Most nursing malpractice suits are related to civil actions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Preventive health services include actions that healthcare providers take to prevent health problems. Examples of these health preventive services include control of high blood pressure, control of sexually transmitted diseases, immunization, family planning, and health care during pregnancy and infancy. Health protection includes actions by government and industry to minimize environmental health threats. Health restoration is restoring clients to optimal health once disease has occurred. Health promotion includes individual and community activities to promote a healthful lifestyle.
