Answer to Question 1

B
The practice of nursing is regulated in every state by its nursing practice or title act, which is determined by the legislatures of individual states and involves both public and civil law. The legislatures of each state provide for a board of nursing that is responsible for determining and regulating nursing practice in that state, including eligibility for licensure (public law). Boards also have the authority to bring disciplinary action against a nurse for violation of rules and regulations established by the board (civil law).

Answer to Question 2

B
Organization refers to the presentation of material in a logical sequence, such as familiar to unfamiliar or simple to complex. The nurse should start with what a client already knows about a topic and ensure that directions are clear and concise to meet the client's cognitive level.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
