Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The most appropriate nursing intervention to maintain this client's self-esteem is to allow the client to choose between two different outfits when dressing for the day. The nurse should also provide appropriate supervision to keep the client safe, maintain consistency of caregivers, and maintain a structured daily routine to minimize confusion.

Answer to Question 2

C
Medicare payment guidelines are based on the diagnosis, which is classified under a diagnosis-related group (DRG), and specify a predetermined payment for a particular diagnosis. This cost containment strategy has also been adopted by some private insurance companies. After the pre-determined time, the facility is responsible for additional costs incurred by the client's stay.
