Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
When resources are scarce, a dilemma may exist as to how to allocate them. Considering estab-lishing a community health center may be a dilemma, but it probably does not involve ethics. Withdrawing care from a hospice patient would most likely not be an issue encountered by a public health nurse, as this represents community health nursing practice, not public health nurs-ing practice. Applying the principles of Florence Nightingale would not be ethical issue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Florence Nightingale lived in the 1800s. The Code for Professional Nurses was adopted in 1950, the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements was adopted in 2001, and the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses was adopted in 2000.
