Answer to Question 1

C
An advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) is a licensed registered nurse with at least a master's degree preparation. According to the American Nurses Association (ANA) Standards of Practice, APRNs must have psychiatric nursing training and be nationally certified as a clinical specialist in psychiatric mental health nursing. Some psychiatric APRNs are certified as nurse practitioners.

Answer to Question 2

A
For a client in a nursing home who has no living relatives, gets no visitors, and sits in a wheelchair most of the day in the dayroom grabbing at everyone or yelling out to people, a diagnosis of loneliness would be of highest priority. The client's actions are an indication that there is a need to have contact with another individual. The scenario does not suggest that the client is experiencing hopelessness, depression, or relocation stress syndrome.
