Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D, F
Nurses can develop personal power by finding a mentor, seeking answers to questions, maintaining a
source of evidence-based information, introducing themselves to powerful people, and making a plan
to develop sources of power.

Answer to Question 2

D
The acronym FLAT stands for factual (what you see, not what you think you may see); legible (no erasures, with corrections made with a single line drawn through the error and initialed); accurate (complete, state exactly what you saw and what occurredi.e., what color was the drainage?); and timely (should be completed as soon after the occurrence as possible). It is used to assist nurses with remembering how and what to chart to protect themselves, their patients, and the health care organization from potential liability.
