Answer to Question 1

4,5
Rationale: Florence Nightingale. Noted that the influence of nurses went beyond physical care; however, she emphasized physical care and made no other significant contributions to the role of the psychiatric nurse.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Clients with mental illness are particularly vulnerable to both physical and psychological abuse and often do not have the ability or power to defend themselves. Nurses must report suspected instances of client abuse. Calling the police may eventually be needed, but it is important to follow the chain of command when reporting.
