Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
As a referral agent, the nurse directs clients to the resources that can meet their needs. A nurse speaking on behalf of others who are unable to speak for themselves is performing the role of advocate. In the caregiver role, the nurse provides direct care to the client. Nurses serve as edu-cators who provide clients at any level with sufficient knowledge to enable them to care for their own needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
To improve the health and wellness of persons with disabilities, the former Surgeon General Carmona suggested that health care providers should see and treat the whole person; educators should teach about disability; the public should focus on the person's abilities, not just the disa-bility; and the community should ensure accessible health care and wellness services.
