Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. Autonomy in clinical decision-making occurs whenever a nurse makes an independent judgment about the presence of a clinical issue and then provides the resolution. This nurse identified that the patient was experiencing distress and made the clinical judgment to use emergency orders. The nurse could have also made a clinical judgment not to use them.
2. This nurse was entrusted with a particular function, in this case, caring for a post-op patient.
3. There is no indication that the nurse delegated care of this patient to anyone.
4. Accountability is the acceptance of responsibility of the outcomes of care.
5. This term is not one of the critical elements of nursing.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 1. This is a relevant point, but not the most important consideration.
2. This is a relevant point, but not the most important consideration.
3. This is a relevant point, but not the most important consideration.
4. This is the most important question for the nurse to consider. If the task is not one that can be delegated, there is no reason to think further through the situation.
