Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse's plan to work in a county hospital operating room for three years while pursuing an
advanced nursing degree is an example of an intermediate career goal. A short-term goal for this nurse
might be to work in an acute care setting for one year to gain the expertise to move to a more
specialized area. An example of a long-term goal for this nurse might be to work open a group practice
of CRNAs to provide coverage for the small rural hospital in the town where nurse grew up.

Answer to Question 2

B
Advocacy can be seen as representing the patient to others in the health care organization, and this has
extended into what has been referred to as cultural brokering or interpreting the health care
environment for the patient. Ensuring the patient does not make risky health decisions is not giving the
patient freedom of choice. Acting as a proxy for understanding and signing consents is not assisting
the patient with informed consent and the right to self-determination. Educating the patient to ensure
compliance with the organization's goals is not advocating for the patient's needs, which may differ
from the organization's goals.
