Answer to Question 1

B
Nurses who serve and protect the wishes of their patients are participating in workplace advocacy.
Patient advocacy is a form of workplace advocacy.

Answer to Question 2

D
If the physician gives an inappropriate answer or gives no orders, document the call, the information
relayed, and the fact that no orders were given. Peer review pertains to nursing. Completing an
incident report would be appropriate only if the physician hangs up or terminates the call. Completing
a physician's order is illegal without the physician's dictation of orders to the nurse.
