Answer to Question 1

C
To have credibility, nurses must demonstrate professional competence. Even caring, empathetic, and
responsible nurses find themselves in situations where their credibility is questioned.

Answer to Question 2

c

a. Incorrect: Patient classification systems provide information about trends in patient acuity, but not about workforce trends.
b. Incorrect: Patient classification systems predict the demand for nursing care, not for supplies.
c. Correct: Patient classification systems group patients based on the amount of direct nursing care they require, and use a classification scheme to predict the demand for nursing care. They are used to calculate staffing requirements.
d. Incorrect: Patient classification systems are not considered to be consistent, reliable, or useful by many, because they show trends in patient acuity, but not in nursing workload.
