Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Ensuring the client's well-being and helping the family to be active participants are critical in-teractions for family members. Making it possible for the family to be present when the health care provider visits with the client allows the family to play a more active role in the client's care and treatment. While the other options show caring, they are not the most valued examples be-cause they do not directly impact family participation in the client's care or treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Nurses have increasingly less time to spend with clients, making it much harder to know who they are. Nursing shortages, high client acuity, and shorter hospital stays are all contributing fac-tors to why nurses have increasing client loads and less time with the patient.
