Answer to Question 1

B
The apical pulse is located at the left midclavicular line at the fourth or fifth intercostal space. The carotid pulse is located under the lower jaw in the neck, along the medial edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The radial pulse is located at the inner aspect of the forearm on the thumb side of the wrist. The femoral pulse is located in the groin below the inguinal ligament.

Answer to Question 2

D
Several studies verify the public's trust in nurses. The public sees nurses as part of the solution, not the problem, and believes that if nurses were allowed to use their skills, they would significantly enhance quality and reduce costs. Nurses have limited their own vision of their roles.
