Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Tobacco control and secondhand smoke policies have been implemented at various political levels in the United States and abroad. To continue their profits, the tobacco industry has targeted youth and dramatically increased international exports. The tobacco industry has not begun to focus on other products, changed to more subtle advertising, or bought off more restrictions on tobacco as ways to counter their losses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
As a newcomer to the site, although experienced in other areas of nursing, the nurse would probably have sufficient experience to recognize a range of practice issues and function comfortably in such roles as clinician and case manager. But to be competent in the new role, the nurse should follow company procedures and rely on assessment checklists and clinical protocols to provide treatment. To go beyond that (i.e., adapt protocols and immediately recognize what is relevant in these new situations) will require experience in the new role.
