Answer to Question 1

C
Ethics committees can be found in many health care organizations today, and they consist of an
interdisciplinary group of people who assist in making decisions concerning ethical dilemmas. While
these dilemmas may require difficult decisions and judgments about what may be right and wrong
in certain circumstances, they pertain only to ethical dilemmas and not to other types of decisions or
concerns.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A This is inappropriate.
B Nurses are not responsible for monitoring compliance.
C Reduction of risks would be a primary focus of the Federal agencies.
D The focus is on minimizing Workers' Compensation accidents.
