Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
In modern practice, nurses assess and diagnose clients and plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care. Full legal responsibility and accountability for these nursing actions rest with the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Criminal law concerns state and federal criminal statutes, which define criminal actions such as murder, manslaughter, criminal negligence, theft, and illegal possession of drugs. Civil law, also called private law, includes laws relating to contracts, ownership of property, and the practice of nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry. Public law is law in which the government is involved directly.
