Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Autonomy in nursing means independence at work, responsibility, and accountability for one's actions. Making decisions about which client requires care according to needs is an example of autonomy. Carrying out physician orders would be an example of nursing care, but not independence. Communication is important in any profession as well as making concerns known to supervisors, but these are not examples of controlling activity-a hallmark of autonomy.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Governance is the establishment and maintenance of social, political, and economic arrangements by which practitioners control their practice, working conditions, and professional affairs.
Rationale 2: Socialization involves learning to behave, feel, and see the world in a manner similar to other persons occupying the same role. The goal is to instill in others the norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors deemed essential. One of the most powerful mechanisms of professional socialization is interacting with fellow students and becoming bound together by feelings of mutual cooperation, support, and solidarity.
Rationale 3: Service orientation differentiates nursing from an occupation pursued primarily for profit.
Rationale 4: Specialized education is an important aspect of professional status and is focused on the course of study and curriculum particular to the profession.
