Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should record all interventions and instructions given to the patient. Legally, if it is not documented, it cannot be proved that the care was given. Documentation should be objective. All patient-related communication with supervisors or physicians should be documented. Flow sheets must be marked appropriately.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Breach of duty means the nurse did not adhere to the nursing standard of care. Walking off the unit during the shift refers to abandonment. Resigning from the position is a right of the nurse. Delegating duties according to the standard of care is not a breach of duty if it is permitted by the state Nurse Practice Act and is correctly performed.
