Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Examining one's own feelings regarding a client who engages in behaviors that are outside the nurse's behavior norms promotes self-awareness and acceptance of deviance, which then allows the nurse to respond with compassion and maintain empathy when meeting the client for the first time. Asking for guidance or reviewing the literature before examining one's feelings indicates that the nurse is unaware or uncomfortable with feelings and relies on others for guidance. Ignoring how one's self-view might be challenged by a patient situation indicates the nurse is not able to confront how the diversity of client behaviors or experiences impacts the quality and nature of the nurse's relationships with others.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites Accreditation Program can be used to see if a pharmacy is accredited and thus a reputable source. The cost of a medication does not verify its authenticity; a drug that costs more is not necessarily better than a drug that costs less and vice versa. It would be too risky for a person to try a medication to test whether or not it is counterfeit.
