Answer to Question 1

A
If a question is difficult to understand, the nurse should ask that it be reworded. Then he or she should restate it to make sure it is understood.
Nurses should not answer questions related to medical care; however, this option does not answer the question.
If the nurse is fatigued, taking a short break can be helpful, and the nurse should request it; however, this option did not answer the question.
Although it is always good to answer questions honestly, this option does not answer the question.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Nontraditional students, such as mothers and older students, have found it convenient to study nursing at community colleges.
More nurses enter the profession via AD programs than through baccalaureate and diploma programs combined.
As college education for nurses became more widespread and accepted, hospital directors became convinced to close their expensive programs, lessening the burden of hiring a professional nursing staff.
The public and nursing suffer from confusion about the educational requirements for becoming a registered nurse.
AD programs do not necessarily contribute to the improved social status of nurses.
