Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although the nurse is accountable to the physician, the agency, the client, and the profession, the
duty of care is owed to the client.

Answer to Question 2

C
This intervention provides support through the nurse's presence and provides structure as necessary
while the client's control is tenuous. Option A: Acting out may lead to loss of behavioral control.
Option B: Client will probably be unable to focus on instruction and comply. Option D: Restraint is
used only after other interventions have proved ineffective.
