Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
In addition to maintaining current professional practice knowledge, competent practice skills, and professional relationships with patients and their families, nurses should follow guidelines to practice legally and avoid charges of malpractice, maintain confidentiality, follow legal and ethical guidelines when sharing information, document punctually and accurately, adhere to established institutional policies governing safety and procedures, comply with legal requirements for handling and disposing of controlled substances, meet licensure and continuing education requirements, and practice responsibly within the scope of personal capabilities, professional experience, and education.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
If a patient is illiterate or requires an interpreter, the method of obtaining informed consent must be adapted appropriately. Use of a professional interpreter rather than a family member is essential to provide detailed medical information accurately. A patient whose culture prefers to allow other family members to make final health care decisions is inconsistent with nursing's ethical belief in autonomy. However, in this situation, the method of obtaining informed consent may need to be adapted to meet the patient's beliefs within the scope of the law.
