Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The focused interview is used to allow for clarification of information from the initial interview. The goal of the focused interview is to expand the information available. The client may need to have a urine specimen and will need vital signs taken but they do not directly relate to determining more information about the chief complaints of the client. Dietary preferences of clients are recorded but are not a part of the focused assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Roles of the professional nurse include teacher, both formal and informal, caregiver, and client advocate. The professional nurse may also have advanced practice roles. Informal teaching does not involve teaching plans. Teaching is often done in collaboration with the advanced practice nurse specialist or the nurse educator. Nurses at the bedside also must share the role of client educator.
