(Graded A+) - Chamberlain
Veracity - correct answer Truthfulness and honesty. Veracity facilitates patient trust.
ANA Code of Ethics - correct answer Promotes responsibility, accountability and
advocacy.
If an RN delegates an assignment to an unlicensed personnel, the RN is still
accountable for the care provided. RNs can delegate responsibility, but not
accountability.
If a nurse's religious beliefs conflict with care of a particular type of patient
Example: Abortion patients we discussed in class at LAC-USC Medical Center), the
ANA Code of Ethics permits the nurse to request a change in patient assignment. So
in my example of floating to the abortion unit, I could have requested a different
assignment from my supervisor, had taking care of these patients conflicted with my
religious views.
Levels of Prevention - correct answer Models of Health
Primary - correct answer True prevention that lowers the chances that a disease will
develop
