Answer to Question 1

A
It may be challenging for the nurse to maintain professional boundaries when the age of the nurse and patient are near the same. It is advisable for the nurse to discuss the conflict with an experienced nurse or supervisor. Seeking reassignment from that patient is considered only after it becomes apparent that the issue cannot be effectively resolved.
