1. Being helpful.
2. Being responsible.
3. Being organized.
4. Being compassionate.

A nurse is educating a student nurse about the responsibilities of a student nurse. The nurse recognizes that additional teaching is needed when the student nurse states:
1. I will check laboratory results for my patients often.
2. I am responsible for noting abnormal assessment findings.
3. I will frequently check the patient's chart for diagnostic test results.
4. It is not within my scope of practice to notify someone of abnormal findings.
