Answer to Question 1

A, C, F
The instructor would recognize that further clarification is needed if a student responded: reduced accountability; eliminate the need for discharge planning; or expanding responsibilities of care and teaching. Benefits to the nursing staff would be: eliminating duplication of services; increasing efficacy and productivity; and improving teamwork and interdisciplinary communicattion. Other benefits would include: increasing (not reducing) accountability; facilitating (not eliminating) the need for discharge planning; and streamlining (not expanding) responsibilities of care and teaching.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nutrition is an important part of healthy living. The dietary limitation of stimulants, such as sugar and caffeine as well as dairy products and animal meats, have been shown to decrease PMS symptoms. Not all complementary therapies are contraindicated for use. Bilberry is considered vasoprotective and chamomile digestive system supportive, but they have no impact on PMS symptoms.
