Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Personal responsibility for health involves active participation in one's own health through education and lifestyle changes. It includes responsibility for reviewing one's own medical records and monitoring both the positive and negative effects of prescription and over-the-counter medications. It means showing up for scheduled tests and procedures and avoiding tobacco and recreational drug use. Eating the types of foods one most enjoys is not necessarily responsible, if one most enjoys foods that do not meet dietary recommendations.

Feedback:
The American Nurses Association (ANA) sets the scope and standards for all professional practice.
