Answer to Question 1

A
There are specific safety issues for the nurse in the home care environment. The nurse should wear a uniform and name badge which identifies the nurse as being a member of the home health agency. The nurse should call the patient in advance to confirm the time of the appointment. During this call, the nurse should also request that pets be secured before arriving. The female nurse should not carry a purse.

Answer to Question 2

B
Balance is defined as a sense of inner peace. Purpose is a sense of meaning or purpose in life. Connection is integration of all of the aspects of being human. Transcendence involves finding meaning larger than the person's individual self and life.
