Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Community care is concerned with long-term outcomes, whereas hospital care is concerned with
short-term outcomes. Options B and D: Planning in either setting would be equally concerned with
medication management and necessary psychoeducation. Option C: Planning in either setting would
probably not set goals for absence of symptoms, which might be unrealistic.

Answer to Question 2

D
A clear definition of the immediate problem provides the best opportunity to find a solution. Asking
about recent upsetting events permits assessment of the precipitating event. Options A and B use a
poor communication technique, asking a why question. Option C asks the client to make a
decision that should be made by the nurse after assessment is completed.
