Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Although the loss of license may occur, it is not immediate; breach of confidentiality is considered unprofessional conduct, and each state board of nursing has its own nurse practice act, administrative law, etc.
B Correct. A breach of confidentiality is serious, and the nurse is held responsible for any damages that result.
C Incorrect. The federal government is not involved.
D Incorrect. The penalty is enforced for the employer and the state board of nursing, not other governmental agencies.

Answer to Question 2

C
Latchkey children are more likely to get into trouble and behave irresponsibly than children that are supervised. They are at increased risk for accidents due to poor judgment. These children are more likely to use drugs or alcohol. Increased feelings of fear and loneliness are common in this group.
