. How do you create an effective learning environment for the
learner? How do objectives help you measure learning for your
patient? Correct Answers Creating an effective learning
environment for the learner consists of making sure there are no
interruptions, identifying active learning experiences, using
simple terms and teaching basic concepts before moving on to
more complex material. It is also important to plan learning
experiences to build on successes and encourage asking
questions and verbalizing understanding of what is being taught.
Pacing learning and allowing time to discuss progress are also
important. Something that I think is very important is creating
an environment free of judgement. Objectives are important in
helping with measurement of learning by evaluating whether
certain objectives are met or not met.

ANA Code of Ethics, provision 1 Correct Answers The nurse
practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity,
worth, and unique attributes of every person.
A fundamental principle that underlies all nursing practice is
respect for the inherent dignity, worth, unique attributes, and
human rights of all individuals. Nurses establish relationships of
trust and provide nursing services according to need, setting
aside any bias or prejudice. Nurses respect the dignity and rights
of all human beings regardless of factors contributing to the
person's health status. Respect for human dignity requires the
,recognition of specific patient rights, in particular, the right to
self-determination. Respect for persons extends to all individuals
with whom the nurse interacts. Nurses maintain professional,
respectful, and caring relationships with colleagues and are
committed to fair treatment, transparency, integrity-preserving
compromise, and the best resolution of conflicts.
ANA Code of Ethics, provision 2 Correct Answers The nurse's
primary commitment is to the patient, whether an individual,
family, group, community, or population.
Because the nurse's primary commitment is to the patient, it
carries the greatest weight and priority and consequently it
trumps all other loyalties. A conflict of interest can raise the risk
of a morally inappropriate decision. The moral presumption of
the nurse-patient relationship in principle-based ethics is that the
best interests of the patient will be served.
The fundamental nature of the nurse-patient relationship is
therapeutic, not personal. In addition, the fundamental nature of
the healthcare team relationships is professional, not personal.
ANA Code of Ethics, provision 3 Correct Answers The nurse
promotes, advocates for, and protects the rights, health, and
safety of the patient.
Confidentiality and privacy are at the top of the list of the patient
rights that nurses must protect. Confidentiality is the
nondisclosure of patient secrets or information without patient
authorization. Privacy, as a right, is the freedom not to be
observed or intruded upon without authorization and to control
access to one's personal information.
, Whistleblowing refers to the disclosure of wrongdoing. It is
important to report researchers, research projects, or clinical
trials that violate patient or participant's rights.
Given that errors will occur, there must be processes and
guidelines for prompt reporting and remedying, and for
disclosure to the patient, whether the error is one's own or that of
a co-worker. While whistleblowers should be protected by
institutional policy, nurses must also support those who call
attention to unethical, incompetent, illegal, or impaired practice.
ANA Code of Ethics, provision 4 Correct Answers The nurse
has the authority, accountability, and responsibility for nursing
practice; makes decisions; and takes action consistent with thee
obligation to promote health and to provide optimal care.
Nurses bear primary responsibility for the nursing care that their
patients and clients receive and are accountable for their own
practice. To be accountable, nurses follow a code of ethical
conduct that includes moral principles such as fidelity, loyalty,
veracity, beneficence, and respect for the dignity, worth, and
self-determination of patients, as well as adhering to the scope
and standards of nursing practice. Nurses are always
accountable for their judgements, decisions, and actions:
however, in some circumstances, responsibility may be borne by
both the nurse and the institution. Nurses are accountable and
responsible for the assignment or delegation of nursing
activities.
ANA Code of Ethics, provision 5 Correct Answers The nurse
owes the same duties to self as to others, including the
responsibility to promote health and safety, preserve wholeness
