Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Each correct answer is an example of appropriate nursing foci: communicating at a level understandable to the patient, providing medication supervision, and using holistic principles to guide care. The distracters violate relationship boundaries or suggest a laissez faire attitude on the part of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse is experiencing disenfranchised grief. Nurses often incur loss that is not openly acknowledged or publicly mourned. Loss of a patient may not be recognized or acknowledged by others, so the grief is solitary and uncomforted and may be difficult to resolve.
