Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Inappropriate with a small, contained fire.
B Because it is a small contained fire, the nurse should attempt to extinguish it to prevent it from spreading and becoming worse.
C Inappropriate with a small, contained fire.
D Inappropriate with a small, contained fire.

Answer to Question 2

D
Veracity is an ethical principle regarding telling the truth. Admitting to mistakes promptly and offering
to do whatever is necessary to correct them is an example of veracity. Being first in line, volunteering
to work overtime, and having a great deal to do every day are related to time management and
organization, but they are not concerned with telling the truth.
