Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Each of these measures, except option D, would increase the potential for nonmaleficence in practice. Performing new procedures without seeking supervision has an increased potential for doing harm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Peer monitoring and reporting are essential to patient safety and professional integrity. Accountability means being held accountable for all nursing actions performed. Because the scope of practice has expanded, nursing accountability is greater. Patient advocacy requires the nurse to provide more information to patients. Personal ethics and cost containment are not included as areas of increased ethical and legal responsibility.
