Answer to Question 1

3
The role of the nurse case manager includes providing education to support a healthy lifestyle. The nurse case manager would not provide a client with ways to reduce medication costs, reasons to limit visits to the primary care provider, nor inform a client as to why a physician would be notified with issues related to client nonadherence.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5, 6
There are several approaches that can be used to help with ethical decision making. These approaches are medical indications, client preferences, quality of life, contextual features, and the integrated model. The client's health insurance plan is not used to help with ethical decision making.
