When an orientee asks why the unit has a multidisciplinary approach to therapeutic activities, the nurse should explain that multidisciplinary collaboration:
 
  1. Produces a higher level of insurance reimbursement
  2. Reduces the incidence of aggressive behavior by clients
  3. Produces quicker results and earlier discharge to the community
  4. Produces better outcomes when client problems are viewed from multiple per-spectives

Question 2

A client is scheduled to attend an occupational therapy group to work on the identified goal of recognizing and using more effective coping techniques.
 
  What measure can the nurse use to continue to support the client's attainment of this goal after he returns to the unit?
  1. Avoiding setting limits that would increase his anxiety level
  2. Praising him for positive behavioral changes
  3. Isolating him from more seriously ill clients
  4. Permitting him to make mistakes prior to intervening on his behalf
