Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale: Self-destructive. Self-destructive behaviors are sometimes used to restore inner equilibrium when a mentally ill client feels overwhelmed.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Autonomy is the freedom to choose a course of action, to act on that choice, and to live with the consequences of that choice. Nurses help clients by providing them with the information they need in order to choose, helping them to understand and sort through the information, and supporting their choice. The statement, All clients should be given their due demonstrates justice. The statement, Part of our profession is doing good things for others demonstrates beneficence. The statement, We must always be honest with clients demonstrates veracity.
