Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse using Betty Neuman's model identifies stressors in the client's environment and provides interventions to reduce or eliminate them. The example of providing HBIG to prevent the client from acquiring hepatitis B is such an example. Cleansing a wound with soap is an example of applying Florence Nightingale's theory. Demonstrating self-care is an example of the nurse using Orem's self-care model of nursing. Assisting a client to transfer from her wheelchair is an example of applying Virginia Henderson's model of nursing of assisting the client to reach his or her potential of doing as much as possible independently.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Kbler-Ross' stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
