Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Between over-involvement and under-involvement, professionalism may be found. It is not on the ends, but in the center.
B Correct. The continuum of professional behavior ranges from under-involvement (distancing, disinterest, and neglect) to over-involvement (boundary crossings and boundary violations). The zone of helpfulness is in the center of the continuum.
C Incorrect. Burnout may lead to under-involvement, but burnout is not the other end of the continuum with overinvolment.
D Incorrect. Noncaring is a serious issue for nursing professionalism and may lead to under-involvement, but noncaring is not the other end of the continuum with over-involment.

Answer to Question 2

D
All of these measures address the major causes of drowning in toddlers. Toddlers should never be left alone near a swimming pool or in a bathroom.
