Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Credentials indicate that an individual (or organization) has met specific standards
that are important to fulfilling a professional mandate. This is not necessarily synonymous with
a continued commitment, though such a commitment may help facilitate the attainment of
credentials. Individual credentials do not necessarily indicate superiority or leadership potential.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The client needs category of physiological integrity encompasses nursing actions
that address a client's physical needs and the treatment of illness. Administration of medication
is not normally considered a health promotion activity, an aspect of psychosocial integrity, or a
demonstration of safety measures.
