Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
These qualities are desirable for working in the mental health setting; empathy and good communication contribute to development of a therapeutic relationship. The ability to work on a team is essential, because this is the structure adopted by mental health agencies. Nonjudgmental attitudes and empathy are necessary. Mental health nursing requires working with other team members. Flexibility, critical thinking, and good mental health are required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Flexibility is necessary, because the LPN/LVN often has to improvise while still practicing sound nursing principles. A nonjudgmental attitude is desirable. Empathy, rather than sympathy, is needed. The home health LPN/LVN works with a health care team and the family.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.
