Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
It is the nurse's responsibility to know the nurse practice act in his or her state. Standards of care, regulation of practice, and the American Nurses' code are not laws that the nurse should refer to before initiating this treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the nurse assumes responsibility for a patient's care, the nurse-patient relationship is formed. This is a legally binding contract for which the nurse must take responsibility. Accountability is being responsible for one's own actions. An advocate is one who defends or pleads a cause or issue on behalf of another. Standards of care define acts whose performance is required, permitted, or prohibited.
