Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Competence is the perception that one's work is skillful and can meet job expectations. Impact is the sense that the nurse can influence important outcomes in the job setting. Meaning implies that the job requirements are a good fit with the nurse's beliefs and values. Self-determination implies that one has control over one's work situation and has some autonomy.

Answer to Question 3

Answer: 3
Explanation: Although regulations vary by state, a common criterion for involuntary admission is that the patient poses a danger to self or others. There is no evidence that the woman described is threatening herself or others. If the patient met the criteria for hospitalization, she could be admitted even if she did not have hospital coverage under her health insurance plan or had recently been hospitalized. By definition, patients who are involuntarily hospitalized do not want or voluntarily request hospitalization.
