Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Nurses should be advocates for the health of the population. In order to do this, nurse profes-sionals must have a working knowledge of government, health care law, the policy process, and the political forces that are shaping the future of health care. Policy does not affect nursing val-ues. Political science does not parallel nursing. Nurses are unable to interpret laws to fit their practice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Social organization refers to the way in which a cultural group structures itself around the family to carry out role functions. Communication is the means by which culture is shared (verbal and nonverbal). Personal space is the physical distance between two individuals during an interaction. Environmental control refers to the person's relationship with nature and to plan and direct fac-tors in the environment that affect them.
