Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The acute awareness of preventive medicine has resulted in today's emphasis on education about issues such as smoking, heart disease, drug and alcohol abuse, weight control, and mental health and wellness promotion activities. This preventive education has resulted in an emphasis on wellness, rather than illness. Improved insurance payments, decentralized care centers, and increased numbers of health care givers did not influence an emphasis on wellness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A nursing intervention for TLS is to prepare the patient and family for dialysis if other measures are not effective.
