Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

There are multiple methods and coping skills to help reduce stress. Most reflect a positive, healthy life and work environment. The nurse should strive for excellence in practice, but should realize that perfection is not possible. The nurse should delegate when possible and appropriate and should give up trying to do it all. Participating in committees at work can lead to the feeling of shared governance and control, which decreases stress. Communication skills should be used to seek win-win resolutions to conflict, not to get the nurse's way.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 5

The bedside nurse is most likely to participate in self-advocacy and citizen advocacy roles. Self-advocacy refers to supporting the nurse's needs at work and the client and family needs in health care. Citizen advocacy is concerned primarily with empowering people through an individual relationship, so bedside nurses also work in this role. Legal advocacy is more limited to attorneys or other court-appointed agents. Collective or class advocacy refers to relatively large organizations that pursue the interests of a category of people.
