Choice A reason: Autonomy respects client decisions, not reporting errors. Veracity involves truthfulness about mistakes. This choice errors per nursing ethics standards. It’s universally distinct, unrelated to the nurse’s duty to disclose incidents accurately.

Choice B reason: Beneficence promotes well-being, not incident reporting directly. Veracity requires honesty about errors. This misaligns with nursing ethical principles. It’s universally distinct, missing the truthfulness aspect violated here.

Choice C reason: Confidentiality protects client data, not error disclosure duty. Veracity demands reporting truth. This choice errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, not applicable to incident transparency issues.

Choice D reason: Veracity, truthfulness, is violated by not reporting the error. Nurses must document incidents, per ethics. This aligns with nursing standards, universally recognized and distinctly breached in this case.

Choice A reason: Costs aren’t low; U.S. spends high with mixed health outcomes. This errors per public health data. It’s universally distinct, contradicting actual cost and health indicator trends.

Choice B reason: U.S. has the highest health costs globally, yet health indicators lag. This aligns with nursing knowledge. It’s universally recognized, distinctly accurate per current health economics.

Choice C reason: Health indicators aren’t tops despite high costs; this is false. This misaligns with public health facts. It’s universally distinct, errors in outcome assessment.

Choice D reason: Costs aren’t low, and outcomes aren’t solely poor due to cost. This errors per health data. It’s universally distinct, misrepresenting U.S. health care reality.

Choice A reason: Studying others is later; self-awareness is the first step. This errors per nursing cultural competence. It’s universally distinct, not the initial action required.

Choice B reason: Self-reflection on personal culture is the first step to competence. This aligns with nursing standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly foundational for cultural understanding.

Choice C reason: Surveying ethnicities follows self-awareness, not precedes it. This choice misaligns with nursing process. It’s universally distinct, a secondary step in competence development.

Choice D reason: Inviting others is engagement, not the first competence step. Self-reflection comes first. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, out of sequence.

Choice A reason: Direct care is narrow; community nursing aims broader prevention. This errors per public health standards. It’s universally distinct, not the overarching goal.

Choice B reason: Managing conditions is part, not the full community goal. Prevention is key. This misaligns with nursing scope. It’s universally distinct, too limited.

Choice C reason: Individual/family care is included, but prevention is the goal. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, lacks preventive focus.

Choice D reason: Preserving, promoting health, and preventing disease define community nursing. This aligns with public health standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly comprehensive in scope.

Choice A reason: Leaving early without notice neglects duty, risking harm. This fits nursing legal standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly a failure in care responsibility.

Choice B reason: Battery involves physical harm, not abandoning duty here. This errors per legal nursing definitions. It’s universally distinct, unrelated to this scenario.

Choice C reason: Libel is written defamation, not leaving a shift early. This misaligns with nursing torts. It’s universally distinct, inapplicable to duty neglect.

Choice D reason: Slander is spoken defamation, not abandoning work. Negligence applies instead. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, off-target here.

Choice A reason: Tertiary prevention treats obesity, not identifies it. Assessment spots issues. This errors per public health standards. It’s universally distinct, a later step.

Choice B reason: Policy development follows identification, not the spotting itself. Assessment fits. This misaligns with nursing core functions. It’s universally distinct, not first.

Choice C reason: Assessment identifies health problems like obesity in communities. This aligns with public health standards. It’s universally applied, distinctly the initial function here.

Choice D reason: Assurance ensures services, not problem identification. Assessment precedes it. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a subsequent action.

Choice A reason: Hugging spreads via contact, not a vector like mosquitoes. This errors per epidemiology standards. It’s universally distinct, not vector-borne transmission.

Choice B reason: Sharing a glass is direct contact, not vector-related. Mosquito bites are vectors. This misaligns with nursing knowledge. It’s universally distinct, off-mode.

Choice C reason: Placental spread is vertical, not vector-based like mosquitoes. This errors per public health definitions. It’s universally distinct, different transmission type.

Choice D reason: Mosquito bites are classic vector transmission for diseases. This fits epidemiology standards precisely. It’s universally recognized, distinctly accurate for vectors.

Choice A reason: Sunscreen is primary prevention, not tertiary for existing issues. Medication fits tertiary. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, preventive.

Choice B reason: Obtaining depression meds is tertiary, managing an existing condition. This aligns with public health standards. It’s universally distinct, showing tertiary understanding.

Choice C reason: Flu shots are primary prevention, not tertiary management. Medication is tertiary. This misaligns with nursing definitions. It’s universally distinct, not treatment.

Choice D reason: BP screening is secondary, not tertiary like managing depression. This errors per public health standards. It’s universally distinct, detection-focused.

Choice A reason: Quaternary isn’t a standard prevention level; tertiary fits confirmed STIs. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, not recognized here.

Choice B reason: Tertiary prevention manages confirmed STIs to prevent complications. This aligns with public health standards. It’s universally applied, distinctly accurate post-diagnosis.

Choice C reason: Secondary is screening/treatment pre-confirmation; post-diagnosis is tertiary. This misaligns with nursing definitions. It’s universally distinct, not after diagnosis.

Choice D reason: Primary prevents STIs; tertiary handles confirmed cases instead. This errors per public health standards. It’s universally distinct, pre-disease focus.

Choice A reason: Sunscreen teaching is primary, not tertiary for pesticide exposure. Treatment fits tertiary. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, preventive.

Choice B reason: Safe handling is primary prevention, not tertiary management. Treatment is tertiary. This misaligns with public health definitions. It’s universally distinct, pre-exposure.

Choice C reason: Screening is secondary, not tertiary like treating exposure. This errors per nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, detection not management.

Choice D reason: Treating pesticide exposure prevents complications, a tertiary strategy. This aligns with public health standards. It’s universally recognized, distinctly post-exposure care.
