Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cognitive dissonance refers to the mental discomfort felt when there is a discrepancy between what an individual already believes and some new information that does not go along with that view. It refers to the holding of two or more conflicting values at the same time. Conceptions of the ideal are conceived values. Operative values do not refer to conflicting values. Commitment refers to value intensity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Failing to report suspected physical or sexual child abuse is an example of a negligent act. Reasonable prudence is a nursing action that a reasonably prudent nurse would perform. In a situation where a child has several bruises, confidentiality must be breached. HIPAA regulations protect the privacy of client records.
