Answer to Question 1

A
There are three types of congressional committees. According to Wakefield (2008), appropriation committees allocate funding to support specific programs on a fiscal year basis. Authorization committees establish or change federal programs and set limits on the amount of federal funding that can be spent to implement a particular program. Oversight committees monitor issues related to the committee focus.

Answer to Question 2

The Code identifies and provides specific advice related to practitioner decisions about a client's right to die, responding to questionable and impaired practice, and handling situations in which a client's needs are beyond the qualifications and competencies of the nurse.
