Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Healthcare institutions that are operated by religious organizations are normally
categorized as nonprofit. They are not proprietorships or community organizations.
Multiple Selection

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The individual being investigated for any violation of the Nurse Practice Act should
have an attorney who is knowledgeable about professional disciplinary issues from the time of
notification of the complaint. This is an important action, whether or not there are grounds for
the accusation. A meeting with the complainant would be inappropriate, and enlisting support
from colleagues would be a secondary concern compared with hiring an attorney. It would be
premature, and likely inappropriate, to explore options out-of-state at this early stage.
