Answer to Question 1

C
Public law deals with the relationship of the individual to the state. The sources of public law at the federal and state levels include constitutional law, which defines and limits government powers in the constitutions of the United States and individual states, such as the establishment of the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of government at the federal level (executive, legislative, and judicial).

Answer to Question 2

C
A final professional responsibility related to client teaching is documentation. Legally, if a nurse taught a client but did not document the teaching, the teaching never occurred. A nurse's documentation of client teaching is also essential to promoting continuity of care and to communicating with other health care team members. Documentation should include the content taught, the teaching methods used, the learner(s) involved, and the client's and family members' response to the teaching activities.
