Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The TJC requires that accredited hospitals have written nursing policies and procedures. Stand-ards of care help define the limits of professional liability. The TJC does not require an institution to have limits of professional liability. Nurse practice acts establish educational requirements for nurses. Nurse practice acts define the scope of nursing practice. The rules and regulations enacted by the state board of nursing define the practice of nursing more specifically. The American Nurses Association has developed standards for nursing practice that delineate the scope, func-tion, and role of the nurse and establish clinical practice standards.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Competent clients have the right to refuse treatment. This includes life-saving hydration and nu-trition. This is not a true statement. Furthermore, physician-assisted suicide is legal in the state of Oregon. In 1997 the Supreme Court ruled that there is no fundamental constitutional right to as-sisted suicide. Organ donation does not have to be attempted to save a recipient's life.
