Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Competence is one of the principles in the new CNA 2008 Code of Ethics.
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 principles as its framework.
C Code of Conduct is not the code that Roach developed.
D Practice standards are provincially developed and did not include Sister Simone Roach's involvement.

Answer to Question 2

B
A spacer is indicated for a patient who has limited coordination or function. Individuals with multiple sclerosis often lose motor control and function and have difficulty seeing. Children often have difficulty using a spacer, so a simple face mask is preferred for infants and children younger than 4 . Hearing impairment may make teaching the patient to use the inhaler difficult, but it does not indicate the need for a spacer. A patient with one-sided weakness would have a difficult time assembling and administering an inhaler by using a spacer, but the patient could use the inhaler single-handedly.
