Answer to Question 1

C
Holistic care encompasses all aspects of an individual. Competent care and complete care are essential, but neither is the best choice to answer the description in this question. Crisis intervention components are not addressed in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should use the patient's support system to meet patient needs whenever possible. Delivery of medication by the nurse should be unnecessary for the nurse to do if patient or a significant other can be responsible. The patient may not need more intensive follow-up as long as medication is taken as prescribed. No patient issues except failure to obtain medication refill were identified.
