Answer to Question 1

A
An advocate defends or asserts another's cause, particularly when the other person lacks the ability to do that for self. Examples of individual advocacy include helping patients understand their rights or make decisions. On a community scale, advocacy includes political activity, public speaking, and publication in the interest of improving the human condition. Since funding is necessary to deliver quality programming for persons with mental illness, the letter-writing campaign advocates for that cause on behalf of patients who are unable to articulate their own needs.

Answer to Question 2

Self-actualization
Individuals who are self-actualized are independent, self-directed, and autonomous. Not everyone reaches his or her full potential, but the nurse can assist the client in meeting his or her fullest potential.
