Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Values guide beliefs and actions. The individuals stating their positions place different values on life
and autonomy. Nurses must be aware of their own values and be sensitive to the values of others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nursing staff are responsible for all aspects of milieu management. The observations mentioned in
this question directly relate to the safety of the unit. The other options, although part of the nurse's
concerns, are unrelated to the observations cited.
