Answer to Question 1

C
A healing environment, for example, is one in which nurses check patients frequently, respect patient privacy, and treat the body carefully. Such an environment leads patients to a sense of security and protection from harm. Human respect refers to nurses being able to appreciate the value of human beings and displaying behaviors that demonstrate value, such as accepting or paying attention to a patient. By showing respect, a nurse honors the worth of individuals. Having an encouraging manner also involves helping patients deal with bad feelings. Affiliation needs refers to inclusion of family members in a patient's care. It is a key element in discharge planning. Hospitalized patients perceive nurses as caring when they are responsive to patients' families and allow them to be involved in the patient's health care situation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should use a humidifier when the client has been receiving more than 4 L/min of oxygen over an extended period. A humidifier is a device that produces small water droplets and may be used during oxygen administration because oxygen dries the mucous membranes. In most cases, oxygen is humidified only when more than 4 L/min is administered for an extended period. When humidification is desired, a bottle is filled with distilled water and attached to the flowmeter.
