Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The current nursing code, the Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements, was adopted by the ANA House of Delegates in 2001. It is anticipated that a revised code will be published in 2015. The Code of Ethics for Nurses is a succinct statement of the ethical obligations and duties of every individual who enters the nursing profession, the profession's nonnegotiable ethical standard, and an expression of nursing's own understanding of its commitment to society.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Supporting or promoting the interests of others or doing so for a cause greater than ourselves defines advocacy. Confidentiality is the ethical concept that limits sharing private patient information. Autonomy, or self-determination, is the freedom to make decisions supported by knowledge and self-confidence. Accountability is the willingness to accept responsibility for one's actions.
