A Registered Nurse witnesses an accident and assists the victim who has a
life-threatening injury. What should the nurse do to meet the most important
standard when acting as a Good Samaritan at the scene of an accident?
1. Seek consent from the injured party before rendering assistance
2. Implement every critical-care intervention necessary to sustain life
3. Stay at the scene until another qualified person takes over responsibility
4. Insist on helping because a nurse is the best-qualified person to provide
care
Correct Answer: 3. When a nurse renders emergency care, the nurse has an ethical
responsibility not to abandon the injured person. The nurse should not leave the
scene until the injured person leaves or another qualified person assumes
responsibility.
1. Depending on the injured person's physi- cal and emotional status, the person
may or may not be able to consent to care.
2. When a nurse helps in an emergency, the nurse is required to render care that is
consistent with care that any reasonably prudent nurse would provide under simi- lar
circumstances. The nurse should not attempt interventions that are beyond the
scope of nursing practice.
4. A nurse should offer assistance, not insist on assisting, at the scene of an
emergency.
A faculty member of a nursing program is conducting an informational session
for potential nursing students. The faculty member includes the information

2. Granted on graduation from a nursing program
3. Approved by the National League for Nursing
4. Required by state law
, Page 3 of 40
Correct Answer: 4. The Nurse Practice Act in a state stipulates the requirements for
licensure within the state.
1. The ANA Standards of Clinical Nursing Practice do not address licensure.
2. When a person graduates from a school of nursing, the individual receives a
diploma that indicates completion of a course of study; the diploma is not a license to
practice nursing.
3. The National League for Nursing (NLN) promotes nursing service and nursing
education; it is not involved with licensure.
When considering legal issues the word contract is to liable as standard is to:
1. Rights
2. Negligence
3. Malpractice
4. Accountability
Correct Answer: 4. Liable means a person is responsible (accountable) for fulfilling a
contract that is enforceable by law. Accountable means a person is responsible
(liable) for meeting standards, which are expectations established for making
judgments or comparisons.
1. Although patients have a right to receive care that meets appropriate standards,
the word right does not have the same relationship to the word standard as the
relationship between the words contract and liable.
2. The words standards and negligence do not have the same relationship as
contract and liable. Negligence involves an act of commission or omission that a
reasonably prudent person would not do.
3. The words standards and malpractice do not have the same relationship as
contract and liable. Malpractice is negligence by a professional person.
An anxious patient repeatedly uses the call bell to get the nurse to come to the

3. Assault
4. Libel
Correct Answer: 3. This is an example of assault. Assault is a verbal attack or
unlawful threat causing a fear of harm. No actual contact is necessary for a threat to
be an assault.
1. This is not an example of slander, which is a false spoken statement resulting in
damage to a person's character or reputation.
2. This is not an example of battery, which is the unlawful touching of a person's
body without consent.
4. This is not an example of libel, which is a false printed statement resulting in
damage to a person's character or reputation.
The nurse is informed that a credentialing team has arrived and is in the
process of assessing quality of care delivered at the hospital. What is the
organization associated with the credentialing of hospitals?
1. Joint Commission
2. National League for Nursing
3. American Nurses Association
4. National Council Licensure Examination
Correct Answer: 1. The Joint Commission (formerly the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) evaluates health-care organizations'
compliance with Joint Commission standards. Accreditation indicates that the
organization has the capabilities to provide quality care. In addition, federal and state
regulatory agencies and insurance companies require Joint Commission
accreditation.
2. The National League for Nursing (NLN) fosters the development and improvement
of nursing education and nursing service.
3. The American Nurses Association (ANA) is the national professional organization
for nursing in the United States. Its purposes are to promote high standards of
nursing practice and to support the educational and professional advancement of
nurses.
