The Nurse Practice Act and American Disability Act is what kind of law?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Nurse Practice Act and the American Disability Act are both examples of statutory laws. Statutory laws are laws enacted by a legislative body, such as a state or federal government, and are written down in a formal document. These laws are created to regulate specific areas of society, such as healthcare or civil rights, and are enforceable by the legal system. The Nurse Practice Act governs the practice of nursing, while the American Disability Act protects the rights of individuals with disabilities.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An unintentional tort is a legal wrongdoing that occurs due to negligence or carelessness rather than intentional harm. In this context, the tort is caused by negligence and malpractice, such as failing to implement interventions or safety measures, indicating it was not done intentionally.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Utilitarianism is a consequentialist theory that takes the position that the value of an action is determined by its usefulness. An ethics of care is a nursing philosophy that directs attention to the specific situations of individual patients viewed within the context of their life narrative. Deontology considers an action to be right or wrong independent of its consequences. A categorical imperative is a principle, established by Immanuel Kant, that states that one should act only if the action is based on a principle that is universal.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: This is clearly an example of settling an issue by force, bringing in a more powerful entity (the court) to force the healthcare team to do what the family wants. It is not a compromise of any sort because neither party backed away from its original position, and the action that was taken was not agreed on by both parties.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Dietary history is a critical component of a comprehensive nutritional assessment, alongside body composition, physical assessment, and laboratory findings. (Note: Original question allowed multiple answers; restructured to single-answer format by selecting one key option.)
