Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The fact that the client was able to live independently and perform self-care represents success in a holistic nursing model. A focus on cardiac output and the ability to teach others is less indicative of a healing paradigm. While controlling pain in and of itself is a laudable goal, it is less closely associated with the quality of life that is the true goal.

Answer to Question 2

D
