Answer to Question 1

D
Whistle-blowing is an act by which an individual provides information regarding a violation of a law, rule, or regulation, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. Some of the steps in the whistle-blowing process include: file a qui tam lawsuit in secret with the court, do not let the hospital or agency know that you have filed a lawsuit, serve a copy of the complaint to the Department of Justice including a written disclosure of all information concerning the fraud. If the government decides to go forward with the lawsuit, the government will bear the responsibility for litigating the lawsuit and will pay for it (including the whistle-blower's court costs and personal defense expenses).

Answer to Question 2

B
Nurses are empowered when they take responsibility (or ownership) of their problems in serving patients. Leddy, Pepper, and Hood (2002) noted that when nurses blame others such as physicians, administrators, or politicians for the state of the health care delivery system, or constantly look to others for improvement of this system, they weaken their position and power base.
