Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

A nurse in a researcher role should look to improve her or his knowledge base by reading and reviewing evidence-based practice information as found in peer-reviewed journals. Working as a member of the interdisciplinary team to provide client care indicates that the nurse is working as a collaborator. Helping the client to obtain home care post-discharge from the hospital indicates that the nurse is working as a client advocate. Delegating tasks to unlicensed personnel to allow for more teaching time with clients indicates that the nurse is working as a manager.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse must structure teaching for teens in a way that suits them best. For teaching to be most effective, the physical environment must be comfortable and distractions to learning must be kept at a minimum. Pictures, videos, and computer-based materials are more effective teaching tools for younger clients. Patients must have an attitude of readiness and openness for the teaching to be effective. However, if the environment is not conducive to learning, efforts for effective teaching will be minimized.
