Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, D, E
Every person is granted freedom from bodily contact by another person, unless consent is granted.

Elements of informed consent include disclosure, comprehension, competence, and voluntariness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
In institutions, most controlled substances must be kept secure and monitored closely in accordance with institutional and state regulations. Failure to do so may lead to disciplinary action against the nurse's license.
