Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Nursing and alternative therapies aim their care for the good of the whole client. Physicians do not order nursing care, but might order alternative therapy. The nursing process and plan of care are unique to nursing. Neither nursing nor alternative therapy seeks to cure the client, but rather to help her reach her full potential.

Answer to Question 2

2,4,5
Rationale 1: The purpose of the nursing process is to identify the current health status of the client, determine actual and potential health problems, establish plans to meet client needs, implement those plans, and evaluate the client response to nursing care. Assessment is one of the steps of the nursing process. Writing policies might follow the nursing process but is not the purpose of the nursing process.
