Answer to Question 1

A
The patient evidences self-care deficit in the areas of bathing/hygiene, dressing/grooming, feeding, and toileting. These deficits pose the greatest risk to the patient and are therefore the priority.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nursing students have many new experiences that provide opportunities for self-learning. Nurses should focus on and discuss the feelings related to these experiences. Instructors and peers can help students by facilitating self-awareness during these discussions; self-awareness contributes to authenticity.
