Answer to Question 1

B
Despite the tendency to assume and measure outcomes as a simple linear relationship among client, nursing intervention, and outcome, the reality of what happens is more complex, interac-tive, and multidimensional (Oermann & Huber, 1999).

Answer to Question 2

C
When an employment relationship ends or changes unexpectedly, grieving occurs. One of the phases in grieving is anger.
