Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse's most important question to ask is what specific duties will the position require the nurse to perform because an office nurse may provide nursing care to patients and other staff handle the other tasks of an office, or the nurse may have a wide gamete of tasks to perform, including desk reception, scheduling appointments, obtaining labs and specimens, helping the physician, or collecting payments for the visit.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The best way the nurse may use political voice in this instance to help the patients is to write her United States Senator about the issue. Nurses are able to give valuable information to the congressional leaders to help them make necessary changes, which in turn will help their older adult constituents. The U.S. Senator from another state does not have to answer her letter and most likely will not do anything about the issue since the nurse is not one of his or her constituents. Writing the local newspaper to publish information about the changes in Medicare may or may not occur, and without urging the citizens and taking action herself to write the appropriate U.S. Senator, the nurse will not accomplish the needed political voice. Medicare funding is Federal, so writing the state representative for the state senate will not help the nurse to exercise her political voice.
