Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Values are personal beliefs that influence opinions. To be able to negotiate differences in opinions, the nurse must first be clear about personal values, which will influence behaviors, decisions, and actions. Ethical dilemmas are a problem in that no one right solution exists.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse understands that sharing health information is governed by HIPAA legislation, which defines rights and privileges of patients for protection of privacy. Private health information cannot be shared without the patient's specific permission. The other three responses either are outright false and/or use poor communication techniques.
