Answer to Question 1

C
The rate of work-related injury in health care settings has increased in recent years. In 2006, 4.4 cases per 100 full-time workers who experienced occupational injury and illness were reported compared with 5 cases per 100 for private industry overall. The rate for nursing homes was 10.1 per 100 workers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Sister Simone Roach was requested by the CNA to develop the first Canadian code of ethics for Canadian nurses in 1977 . This first code was based on her theory of compassion, confidence, conscience, and commitment. The CNA Code of Ethics continues to retain Roach's caring prin-ciples as its framework.
Competence is one of the principles in the new CNA 2008 Code of Ethics.
Code of Conduct is not the code that Roach developed.
Safety is one of the principles in the new CNA 2008 Code of Ethics.
