Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The philosophical basis for the International Council of Nurses Code of Ethics for Nurses is the responsibility to promote health, prevent illness, and alleviate suffering. The nurse should plan measures to alleviate the patient's suffering. Modified activities of daily living, enforcement of strict bed rest, and dietary interventions to maximize strength may not affect pain control.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Critical thinking is evident when the nurse challenges assumptions, overtly identifies and acknowledges the values and beliefs he/she brings to the situation, considers the influence of context, generates possible explanations, and deliberately maintains healthy skepticism. As the patient is angry, the statement that demonstrates empathy and critical thinking is I understand your anger and am sorry for the delay. I have your pain medication now. The other choices are not examples of critical thinking and would be inappropriate responses.
