Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Answer option 3 is correct because the Good Samaritan law will protect the nurse who gives care that any other reasonable nurse would give and that does not exceed the nurse's level of competence or the state nurse practice act. Option 1 is incorrect because some client needs might exceed the nurse's ability and scope of practice. Option 2 is incorrect as well, because the nurse who stops should give basic first aid until help arrives. The nurse never leaves the victim until professional rescuers arrive (option 4).

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: The Ballard school was the first formal training schools for practical nursing students. Others followed, but the Ballard school was first.
