Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Nursing education helps a nurse to acquire a professional value system. In nursing school, the student nurse begins to take on some of the values of the nursing profession. Often, professional values are transmitted by tradition in nursing classes and clinical experiences. They are modeled by expert nurses and assimilated as part of the role socialization process during the years spent as a student and new graduate. Professional values are stated in the ANA code, but the best way to transmit them is by role modeling. Professional values are transmitted by tradition and assimilated in the role socialization process. Values clarification helps a nurse to identify and prioritize values.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In the planning phase, it is important to identify and understand the client's value system as the foundation for developing the most appropriate interventions. It is not necessary for the client and nurse's values to coincide; in fact, it is an unrealistic expectation. The client's value system is important to consider throughout the nursing process. Values are influenced by culture and religious beliefs.
