Answer to Question 1

A
Aggression is harsh physical or verbal action that reflects rage, hostility, and potential for physical
or verbal destructiveness. Aggressive behavior violates the rights of others; thus client A would be
assessed as displaying aggression. The other options do not feature violation of another's rights.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Nurses in the community are often assisted by informal helpers such as the significant others of the
client, the landlord, the local police, clergy, and other concerned volunteers. Community-based
nurses and clients have less contact with the traditional members of the interdisciplinary team than
do individuals in the hospital-based setting.
