1. Delivery of competent care
2. Formation of interpersonal relationships

ANSWER
ANS: 1
The term responsibility refers to the characteristics of reliability and dependability. In profession-al nursing, responsibility includes a duty to perform actions well and thoughtfully. When the nurse provides competent care, the nurse is demonstrating ethical responsibility. Formation of interpersonal relationships is not an ethical responsibility. Application of the nursing process is not an ethical responsibility. Evaluation of new computerized technologies is not an ethical re-sponsibility.
