Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C, D, E

Clients from vulnerable populations, like children, particularly benefit from nursing advocacy. Although advocating for fair and equitable access is an important advocacy activity, it is not part of the work of a fatality prevention committee. A child fatality prevention committee may recognize and act on information early. This type of committee may be able to recognize patterns and devise related health promotion activities. As advocates, both professional and public, nurses can speak to promote and effect change.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, E

It is important for the nurse to remember that client control over health decisions is a Western view and is not necessarily accepted in other cultures. The nurse must respect the client's and family's views and honor their traditions regarding healthcare decision making. To be an effective advocate for all people and cultures, the nurse must do the following: be assertive; recognize that the rights and values of clients and families must take precedence over those of healthcare providers; be aware that conflicts may arise over issues that require consultation, confrontation, or negotiation between the nurse and administration or the primary care provider; work with community agencies and lay practitioners; and understand that advocacy may require political action.
