Answer to Question 1

2. Maintaining professional character and spirit

Rationale:
Professionalism refers to professional character, spirit, or methods. It is a set of attributes and a way of life that implies responsibility and commitment. Florence Nightingale influenced nursing professionalism a great deal, but simply learning about her influence does not constitute professionalism because it refers to a way of life. Professionalization is the process of becoming professional, which is acquiring characteristics considered to be professional and upholding the standards of a profession.

Answer to Question 2

4. Carefully repositioning the client every 2 hours.

Rationale:
The intervention appropriate for the client experiencing ineffective tissue perfusion is to carefully reposition client every 2 hours because position changes facilitate circulation and tissue perfusion. The other interventions would be appropriate if the client were experiencing impaired gas exchange.
