Answer to Question 1

B
Nothing by mouth (NPO) requires that a client have no food or fluid by mouth during the prescribed time frame.

Answer to Question 2

B
In the United States each State Board of Nursing oversees its Nurse Practice Act (NPA), which regulates the scope of nursing practice for the state and protects public health, safety, and welfare. The ANA's Code of Ethics for Nurses: Interpretation and Application (2010) provides a guide (not a law) for carrying out nursing responsibilities to ensure high-quality nursing care and provide for the ethical obligations of the profession. The purpose of a standard of care is to describe the common level of professional nursing care to judge the quality of nursing practice. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) initiative to respond to reports about safety and quality patient care by the Institute of Medicine.
