Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should assure the client that personal information will be treated as confidential and explain that data will be shared with other members of the health care team as needed for making relevant clinical decisions and informing the client about the general composition of the health care team.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurse-client relationships are designed to empower clients and families to assume as much responsibility as possible in self-management of chronic illness. Both nurse and client have responsibilities and work toward agreed-upon goals. Shared knowledge, mutual decision-making power, and respect for the capacities of client to actively contribute to his or her health care to whatever extent is possible are active components. The client always has the right to choose the course of action, even if it does not coincide with medical advice. If the client takes a leave of absence from her work schedule, it is not a mutual goal. Setting the goal of having the client check her blood pressure four times a day does not address the issue from the client perspective.
