Answer to Question 1

B
The goal of informed consent is to protect the client's right to autonomy.
Answerability offers reasons and explanations for certain aspects of nursing practice.
If the nurse feels powerless to act for what he or she thinks is right, or believe the actions will not bring about change, the nurse will have difficulty being an effective advocate.
Maleficence refers to hurt or harm.

Answer to Question 2

A
Consistent negative comments can cause devaluation of an individual's self-concept. The impact of negative self-esteem can invade all areas of a person's life, including body image. Role confusion is part of a developmental task (identity versus role confusion). Rigidity and yearning are not components of self-concept.
