Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Integrated patient care is the recognition of the interplay between physical and mental health. In integrated care, these disorders are not treated as separate illnesses; rather, they are treated together. The remaining options make no mention of a relationship between mental and physical illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This option shows a misguided kindness that will ultimately have a negative impact on the patient's treatment. The remaining options show responsible nursing interventions that in-clude self-reflection of personal motivation for such work.
