Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

In order to identify potential values conflicts, the nurse must first be aware of his or her personal value system. The nurse should be watchful for situations in which a values conflict may occur so that unrecognized conflict will not interfere with care. If possible, the nurse should hold personal values in check as long as effectiveness and quality of care are not compromised. If a values conflict occurs, the nurse should discuss the situation with the nursing supervisor. If this nurse has already accepted this assignment, refusal to provide care may constitute abandonment, which is not ethical and could result in action against the nurse's license to practice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The Mosaic Code is considered the first sanitary legislation and contains the first record of requirements to improve public health. The code, which covered every aspect of individual, family, and community health, differentiated between clean and unclean. The code did not provide policy for surgical interventions or outline education requirements. Nurses were not registered at this time in history.
