Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Linda Richards, the first American psychiatric nurse, opened the first American school for psychiatric nurses and spent a significant part of her career developing better nursing care in psychiatric hospitals. Hildegard Peplau developed the first systematic theoretic framework in psychiatric nursing. Harriet Bailey wrote the first psychiatric nursing text, Nursing Mental Diseases. Gwen Tudor (Will) was the first nurse to publish an article in the journal Psychiatry. While the last three nurses made significant contributions, the title of first American psychiatric nurse, falls to Linda Richards.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Providing privacy for the client to visit with his or her family demonstrates that the nurse is being sensitive to the client's right to privacy. Providing encouragement for a client to attend group is a therapeutic intervention to prevent social isolation, not sensitivity. Eating in the dining room with the clients is an example of the nurse modeling positive social skills, not sensitivity. Reporting a client's compliance with medication to the psychiatrist is appropriate but is not an example of sensitivity.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
