Answer to Question 1

C
The IOM has identified nurses as key leaders in driving the reform and work to be done to reshape health care delivery in the United States. It is important that all nurses become educated and knowledgeable about this report, understand its implications for the future of the discipline, identify ways that individual nurses can get involved in implementing the recommendations, and educate others on what needs to be done. The other options all have elements of truth to them, but the broad implication is that nursing must lead the reform of health care.

Answer to Question 2

B
Whereas medicine focuses on the identification and treatment of disease, nursing focuses on the wholeness of human beings.
All nursing theories conceptualize environment as a core concept, whether stated or implied.
Although following physician-prescribed treatments is a component of nursing, nurses can also create their own care plans using both independent and dependent nursing activities.
Systems theory is a part of many nursing theories but not all.
