Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Self-efficacy refers to the level of confidence an individual has about the ability to perform the activity. The client's intention to make a permanent change shows the highest level of determination and motivation. Stating that one will do the best one can or thinking that this attempt at quitting smoking will be different are not highly positive indicators of motivation. Stating fear of getting lung cancer does not address a positive activity.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Fluid volume excess may occur if clients, especially the very young or old, receive IV fluid rapidly. The findings given in this scenario do not support the other options.
