Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Social distance ranges from 4 to 12 feet. Many interactions with clients occur at this distance. Intimate distance ranges from personal contact to 1  feet; direct client care and assessment are done in this distance range. Personal distance ranges from 1  to 4 feet; sitting at the bedside to interact with the client is done at the personal distance range. Public distance starts at 12 feet and is the distance at which interactions with larger groups take place.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The emphasis on health promotion and wellness is a fundamental change in health care. This has empowered people to be a vital enabler of their own health. Due to increasing numbers of people desiring or requiring healthcare, less care is being delivered by physicians and an increase care delivery by nurse practitioners is being seen. There has been no change in the numbers of hospital administrators who are nurses.
