Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Nurses as advocates must realize that they do not make ethical decisions for their clients. Rather, they facilitate clients' decision-making by interpreting findings, informing cliients of various aspects to be considered, helping clients verbalize and organize their feelings, calling in others involved in the decision making, and helping clients assess all their options in relation to their beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Many health care institutions have developed ethics committees whose functions include education, policymaking, case review, and consultation. These committees are multidisciplinary and provide a forum where divergent views can be discussed without fear of repercussion.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
