Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The nurse who pays attention to the care of the dying client has most likely dealt with personal feelings and fears regarding death. The nurse in the other options demonstrates a fear of and discomfort with the process of dying.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The client states that she does not know what to do since her spouse died. This information would support the diagnosis of Helplessness. The client may or may not be anxious or stressed. There is not enough information to determine whether the client is or is not experiencing imbalanced nutrition.
