Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Patient advocacy and a commitment to society are the framework for the American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses. Nurses have an obligation to provide clinically competent, patient-centered care in accordance with ethical and legal principles. It is this patient-centered advocacy that creates a commitment to society. Patient education, rights, and compassion are all vital aspects of the nursing profession; however, these do not create the framework for the American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Explanation: The Code of Ethics does not exist to provide the answers to specific ethical challenges that nurses face. Rather, it provides a brief description of the ethical obligations and duties of nurses entering the profession, establishes nursing's nonnegotiable ethical standards, and provides a reference for how nurses understand their obligations to society. It also provides a framework to enable nurses to work through ethical challenges and conflicts.
