Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Ethics rounds use hypothetical or real cases and incorporate the traditional rounding approach to education whereby discussions may be held at the client's bedside. The client must give consent. These ethics rounds may or may not be interdisciplinary.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Many nursing faculty use textbook reading to provide background information for more advanced discussion of the topic being covered. There is no indication that this faculty member is not comfortable with the textbook material. This educational strategy is valid and is not a reason for the student to report the faculty member or to enlighten the faculty member about what the student identifies as an oversight.
