Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, F
Rules include do not offer expert advice or assistance based on what you think the person needs or can do; do not grab the arm of a person who is blind but let the person take your arm so the person does not lose his or her balance; do not pet a working dog; do seek out similarities and shared interests; do inform the person who is present; say goodbye when leaving; and treat the person very much like an able-bodied person.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E, F
Data from interviews conducted with nurses who provide care to persons with disabilities revealed principles such as do not assume anything; adopt the client's perspective; listen and learn from the client; gather data from the perspective of the client and family; care for the client and the family, not the disability; be well informed about community resources; and become an advocate by letting clients choose.
