Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should observe for body language, gestures, facial expression, and other forms of nonverbal communication that may provide clues about how the client is feeling. The nurse may ask the client direct questions as well as indirect questions. The nurse should consider religious factors, such as the cross. It is not necessary to include a family member during the assessment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Osmosis occurs when water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion is the most important mechanism by which nutrients and waste pass across the cell membrane. Osmotic pressure refers to pressure exerted to stop the flow of water across a membrane.
