Answer to Question 1

2. Respecting the parents' decision.

Rationale:
The nurse best advocates for the family by supporting the family's right to make this decision. A nurse can show respect for the family without respecting the decision of the parents. Referring the parents to another entity points to feelings of unease about the parents' choice. Asking to be assigned to another client does not honor the right of patients and families to make decisions about health care.

Answer to Question 2

2. Clinical nurse specialist

Rationale:
A clinical nurse specialist has an advanced degree or expertise and is considered to be an expert in a specialized area of practice (oncology in this case). The nurse provides direct client care, educates others, consults, conducts research, and manages care. A nurse practitioner has an advanced education, is a graduate of a nurse practitioner program, and usually deals with nonemergency acute or chronic illness and provides primary ambulatory care. The nurse educator is responsible for classroom and often clinical teaching. A nurse entrepreneur usually has an advanced degree, manages a health-related business, and may be involved in education, consultation, or research.
