Answer to Question 1

B
Level two interventions focus on protecting the client and others from potential harm. Level one interventions focus on preventing violence, and level three is the last level of interventions that are implemented for clients whose behaviors reflect a loss of control.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse must first clarify what the client's statement is referring to so as to eliminate the possibility that the client is thinking of harming herself. Once this is clarified, and if it is not what the client is indicating, a list of social groups might be supplied later in the conversation. Offering to call the client's family and assuring her that she will make friends are disregarding what the client is telling the nurse she feels. Social isolation is not a healthy state for an individual.
