Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The ANA's Code of Ethics for Nurses lists ethical standards of conduct for nurses. It does not outline a specific decision-making process, give explicit definitions of concepts, or provide case studies.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Interpersonal boundaries protect clients from emotional harm that would impede their recovery. Boundary violations are usually insidious in their development. In the beginning, a health care provider may be unaware that the relationship is drifting from therapeutic interactions into a friendship or social relationship. As this relationship changes, the judgment of the health care provider becomes clouded and the therapeutic needs of the client slip from focus. During treatment, providers must conduct interactions with clients within appropriate guidelines and focus on the client's growth and movement toward wellness. Members of the health care team must recognize that stepping outside their professional boundaries can compromise a client's movement toward recovery.
