Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C

In addition to the ANA code of conduct in ethical situations, education and didactic training represent another source for developing primary risk-management skills. A practitioner's professional network, consisting of peers, supervisors, and colleagues, can be a significant resource for primary prevention of ethical challenges. Resource accumulation involves acquiring the requisite resources and skills prior to the occurrence of a dilemma. Righteousness and financial support are not elements of risk management.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

A client's perceived need for healthcare services can be a barrier to access. It may cause clients to seek care that is unnecessary or care that is necessary but provided at an inappropriate and often more expensive place of service than needed. The nurse can change clients' perception of need (thereby promoting appropriate and timely health care) by managing client care, teaching adults about self-care and the care of their children, and teaching clients when and how to access appropriate care.
