Answer to Question 1

A
Fostering caring through compassion begins with teaching self-assessment; self-care; and reflective practices of inquiry, self-evaluation, and stress management techniques. When the nurse cares for him- or herself adequately, he or she will have the personal resources to practice caregiving with empathy and compassion. Inappropriate jokes do not demonstrate adequate stress reduction methods. Skipping breaks does not allow the nurse to care for him- or herself. Understanding that asking for a different assignment may be necessary is important, but this is not the best option.

Answer to Question 2

D
There are too many gray areas for any code of ethics to be universally right is an understandable statement. Situational variables are innumerable and unique, and they complicate every situation. There are usually no strict right or wrong answers.
A professional code of ethics does not seek to determine correct solutions to every situation but rather attempts to define the ethics that should guide decision making.
The use of ethics is not related to intelligence but rather gives nurses a framework in which to analysis situations.
A requirement of a profession is a code of ethics to guide behavior. The goal is not to dictate to nurses what to do in every situation but to provide guidance for decision making an action in difficult situations.
