Answer to Question 1

C, E
NAPNES and the NFLPN give clear guidelines for clinical standards that can be used as a basis for court decisions. The NPA has broad guidelines, and institutional policies may not be com-plete. The BNE enforces the NPA.

Answer to Question 2

B
Individuals of Arab descent generally view pain as something to be controlled and will probably call for pain remedy frequently and expect prompt response. Arabs will express pain to their family.
