Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
All the choices focus on individual client care except for the nurse who is politically involved as demonstrated by providing testimony relevant to proposed legislation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because most Americans drink alcohol, it is probably not effective to teach total abstinence. Alcohol in moderation is not a specific answer to the client's question. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest no more than one drink for women and two drinks for men per day, which is a specific response to the client's question.
