Answer to Question 1

A
The concepts are data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. Wisdom answers the why. Charting is documentation. Assessment and evaluation are included in the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

A
Health care providers are required to report incidents such as child, spousal, or elder abuse; rape; gunshot wounds; attempted suicide; and certain communicable diseases. Health care providers are provided legal immunity if the report is made in good faith. Not reporting suspected child abuse or neglect can cause a nurse to be liable in civil or criminal legal actions. It is not the nurse's responsibility to inform the parents of illegal activity or to prevent the parents from seeing the child. The nurse is responsible for reporting the suspected abuse, not call security to handle the problem.
