Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The nurse who witnessed the incident is the one who completes the report. Details of the incident should be objectively described. An explanation of the possible cause is not included. The se-quence of events is described objectively. A notation is not included in the medical record that an incident report was written.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
In this example, the client blames others and complains. The client often directs anger toward the nurse or others. The remaining options are other stages of the grieving process.
