Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The goal of educating others about their health is to help individuals, families, or communities achieve optimal levels of health. Although all state Nurse Practice Acts acknowledge that patient teaching falls within the scope of nursing practice, this is the nurse's standard, not the goal of education. Patient education helps patients make informed decisions about their care and become healthier and more independent, not dependent. Nurses provide patients with information needed for self-care to ensure continuity of care from the hospital to the home.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Assertive responses contain I messages such as I want, I need, I think, or I feel. Giving personal opinions (If I were you) is nontherapeutic and not assertive. Arguing (How can you say that?) is not assertive or therapeutic. Showing disapproval (using words like should, good, bad, right) is not assertive or therapeutic.
