Answer to Question 1

C
A strength of the nursing profession is the ability to go beyond the biomedical, psychosocial, or physical focus to care for the entire person. This approach focuses on the overall biopsychosocial well-being of the patient.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
When a patient is experiencing stress and verbalizing his complaints to the nurse, it would be usual for him to be anxious and angry. However, when expressed appropriately and clearly, some anger can be adaptive, because it temporarily releases the person's feelings of tension. The nurse, however, should not apologize to the patient nor minimize the anger by stating, We are all doing the best we can. What is causing stress? How long have you been dealing with stress? How have you managed stress in the past? and How long have you been dealing with this stress? are all appropriate questions asked by the nurse.
