Answer to Question 1

C
The reasonable person standard is used by courts when dealing with cases of potential negligence and
malpractice to show what a reasonable nurse would do in a given situation. Reviewing the
organization's policies and procedures, evidence from the state's Nurse Practice Act, and the use of
expert witnesses to the standard of nursing practice in that community are all examples of aspects of
the reasonable person standard.

Answer to Question 2

D
Three specific attributes of establishing an evidence-based environment within an institution are (1)
create a capacity for change, (2) establish the culture, and (3) use the organizational infrastructure to
sustain and reinforce change.
