Answer to Question 1

B
The first question asked when applying the value-added model would be what value question is being identified. The nurse must identify and clarify the value question when making ethical decisions. Without a clear understanding of the question at hand, a final decision becomes very difficult.

Answer to Question 2

D
Whenever there is a concern for suicide, the patient should be assessed immediately for ideations as well as plan. Risk is higher when there is a history of a suicide attempt and if the patient is over 65 years of age.
