Answer to Question 1

D
Acute health care requirements vary with the progress of the disease either toward a cure or through complications that can occur. The RN uses information from many different sources to identify potential and actual problems with the patient's progress. The overall focus is to prevent complications while promoting a higher level of health.

Answer to Question 2

C
At various times in life, a person will have a health care demand, either a self-care or depen-dent-care demand, that exceeds his or her self-care agency. When this happens, the person is said to have a self-care or dependent-care deficit. When this deficit is such that the person needs the specialized training of health care professionals, the person enters the health care setting and en-gages in a collaborative relationship with the RN and other health care team members.
