Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The professional nurse is responsible for assessing patients each shift. Making informed, ethical decisions in the patient's best interest is practicing responsibly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Professional nurses are responsible for making clinical decisions to take immediate action when a patient's condition worsens. Patient care should be based on evidence-based practice, not on tradition. Clear textbooks solutions to patient problems are not always available. Care plans should be individualized.
