Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses provides the framework for nurses to use for decision making in an ethical dilemma. The other options may provide some help in making decisions, but the Code is the standard for ethical issues.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Sanctions can be internal or external, positive or negative, and are used to enforce norms. They are used to increase internalization of ethics. Although the sanction will often result in a paper trail or documentation of the nurse's error and may serve to reinforce the leader's position as supervisor over this nurse, this is not its central purpose.
