A) Education
B) Peer support and consultation
C) Resource accumulation
D) Righteousness
E) Financial support
Answer: A, B, C
In addition to the ANA code of conduct in ethical situations, education and didactic training represent another source for developing primary risk-management skills. A practitioner's professional network, consisting of peers, supervisors, and colleagues, can be a significant resource for primary prevention of ethical challenges. Resource accumulation involves acquiring the requisite resources and skills prior to the occurrence of a dilemma. Righteousness and financial support are not elements of risk management.
