Answer to Question 1

B
To assist a nurse who is overwhelmed, an effective strategy is to sit with the nurse during breaks and facilitate peaceful imagery.

Answer to Question 2

A
Based on the information gathered, the nurse knows that the client most likely has a history of loss of consciousness from alcohol. As part of her assessment, the nurse is gathering information from multiple sources, rather than just the client and his medical records. In this case, the nurse is basing the assessment on information gathered from criminal justice personnel (regarding the nature of his arrest) as well as a family member (regarding his history of blackouts).
