Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A retreat is an opportunity for busy nurses to cease doing for a time and focus on being, and to experience freedom from responsibilities and distractions. Luxury is not a necessity while problem-solving and focusing on professional standards are likely contrary to the spirit of retreat.

Answer to Question 2

A
Orthopnea is an abnormal condition in which a person must sit or stand in order to breathe deeply and comfortably.
