Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Standards of practice are authoritative statements used by the nursing profession to describe the responsibilities for which nurses are accountable. They do not have the same standing as laws, and they are not future goals but are instead current standards.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Parish nursing is a program that promotes health and wellness of body, mind, and spirit using the community health nursing model as its framework. The church congregation is the client.
