Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
While many students are understandably nervous about being recognized as new by clients, they are normally informed ahead of time that students will be coming. Clients are usually very aware of who they interact with. No care provider is expected to endure abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Individuals who display an open-minded attitude do not make decisions until they are aware of all the facts pertaining to a certain situation. Open-mindedness does not mean that every action and thought are beneficial, that a nurse is powerless to effect change in a client, or that the nurse must be willing to perform any necessary intervention on himself or herself.
