Answer to Question 1

C
The client's comment should alert the nurse to conduct a suicide assessment. The nurse must determine if the client is experiencing feelings of severe despair that could lead to self-destructive or suicidal behavior. This assessment would begin with questioning the client about thoughts of self-harm.

Answer to Question 2

A
Capitation is a funding mechanism where all defined services for a specified period of time are provided for an agreed-on single payment. This funding is directed to a specific client or group of clients (in this case, women in the Rosemont community).
