Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
The social worker is an expert at identifying additional resources for treatment of substance abuse. The primary provider, pharmacist, and dietitian will all contribute to the plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The priority diagnosis for a client diagnoses with BPH is Impaired Urinary Elimination. Acute pain, not chronic pain, is also an appropriate diagnosis. Clients with BPH have problems associated with urinary elimination, not bowel elimination. Constipation and Diarrhea are not appropriate nursing diagnoses for this client.
