Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
The role of the liaison nurse was developed in the 1960s for the purpose of serving as consultants for other health care providers. The liaison nurse role is one of two nursing roles that focus on treating clients who have strong emotional reactions to physical illnesses that they are currently suffering from. The second nursing role is the psychiatric nurse specialist in home care.
