Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

B
The first thing to be determined in a holistic nursing approach is what the illness means to the client. In some cases, there is no medical solution that completely eliminates the chronic pain a client may be suffering from. Therefore, by understanding what the pain means to the client, the nurse can have a greater understanding on how the pain influences how the client leads his or her life. The nurse can then use this information to develop a treatment plan.
