Answer to Question 1

D
The act of being responsible (responsibility) for one's actions is a top priority for all health care workers, nurses in particular. The act of being responsible includes: reliability, dependability, the obligation to accomplish work once the assignment has been accepted, and the desire to perform at an acceptable level in accordance with one's educational and experience levels.

Answer to Question 2

B
An assignment is a distribution of work that each staff member is to accomplish during a given time frame according to the scope of practice. An NAP should not be assigned to irrigate a colostomy or do a dressing change of a stage II decubitus ulcer even if the NAP is very experienced. Willingness to be a team player and skill level are important, but should not be the sole factors when making assignments.
