Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
A patient advocate is a caregiver, who recognizes the patient and family's need for information and assistance. They act as the patient's representative to help make informed decisions. They identify specific care needs and assist in coping.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
Lack of accountability can result in patient injury. Health care providers have a legal and moral obligation to keep their patients safe. Every caregiver is responsible for his or her own negligent acts.
