Answer to Question 1

C
People experience an actual loss when they can no longer touch, hear, see, or have near them valued people or objects. Examples include job loss. People experience maturational losses as they go through a lifetime of normal developmental processes. For example, when a child goes to school for the first time she will spend less time with her parents, leading to a change in the parent-child relationship. Situational loss occurs as a result of an unpredictable life event. A situ-ational loss often involves multiple losses. A divorce, for example, begins with the loss of a life companion, but often leads to financial strain and changes in living arrangements. Perceived losses are uniquely experienced by a grieving person and are often less obvious to others. A per-ceived loss is very real to the person who has had a loss. For example, a person perceives she is less loved by her parents and experiences a loss of self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

C
For assessment (A) data include significant findings in your head-to-toe physical assessment, recent vital signs, current treatment measures, restrictions, recent laboratory results and diagnos-tics, and pain status. Some institutions use SBAR, an acronym that stands for situation, back-ground, assessment, and recommendation. SBAR standardizes telephone communication of sig-nificant events or changes in a patient's condition. Therefore it is a communication strategy de-signed to improve patient safety. When describing the situation (S), you include the admitting and secondary diagnoses and the problem your patient is having as the current issue. Background (B) information includes pertinent medical history, previous laboratory tests and treatments, psychosocial issues, allergies, and current code status. Provide your recommendation (R), in which you suggest a plan of care and request orders and other needs to be addressed.
