Question

a nurse is assisting a nurse manager who is providing education to a group of newly licensed nurses about various nursing organizations. which of the following statements should the nurse manager make?

• \the american nurses associations code of ethics for nurses with interpretive statements guides nurses through difficult decision - making.\
• \the national academy of medicine developed the healthy people campaign to improve the health of all americans.\
• \the american academy of nursing requires members to have a doctorate degree in nursing to join.\
• \the national student nurses association is an organization created to encourage students to enter nursing.\

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements does guide nurses in ethical decision - making during difficult situations. This is a core function of the ANA's code.
• Option 2: The Healthy People Campaign was developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, not the National Academy of Medicine.
• Option 3: The American Academy of Nursing has different categories of membership, and a doctorate is not the only requirement (e.g., there are other pathways for fellows).
• Option 4: The National Student Nurses Association's main goal is to support student nurses in their education and professional development, not primarily to encourage students to enter nursing (though it may have that as a secondary effect, but this is not its main purpose).

Answer:

A. "The American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements guides nurses through difficult decision - making."
