Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A This is not true.
B Advanced practice nurses' roles have changed dramatically, and they are being used for routine health decisions.
C This is not true.
D This is not true.

Answer to Question 2

C
Threatening to touch (or treat) another person without his consent is a definition of assault. By
threatening to give the patient an enema he will never forget if he is not quiet, the new nursing
graduate has threatened to give a treatment (enema) against his will. Battery is the actual act of giving
the enema (treatment), and defamation is the act of giving intentionally false information,
communication, or publication such as making a statement that could cause a patient to lose his job.
