Answer to Question 1

C
As an advocate you act on behalf of your patient, securing and standing up for your patient's health care rights. As an educator you explain concepts and facts about health, describe the rea-son for routine care activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities, reinforce learning or patient behavior, and evaluate the patient's progress in learning. Most nurses provide direct patient care in an acute care setting, and this describes the role of provider of care. A manager coordinates the activities of members of the nursing staff in delivering nursing care and has personnel, policy, and budgetary responsibility for a specific nursing unit or agency.

Answer to Question 2

D
Dietary therapy, food and fluids, must be written by the health care provider and is not within the nursing scope of practice.
