Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hospitalization is justified when the client is a danger to self or others, has dangerously
decompensated, or needs intensive medical treatment. Options A, C, and D do not necessarily
describe clients who would require inhospital treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Clinical pathways provide guidelines for assessments, interventions, treatments, and outcomes as
well as a designated timeline for accomplishment. Deviations from the timeline must be reported and
investigated. Clinical pathways streamline the care process and save money. Option A: Care
pathways do not identify obstacles; staff do this. Option B: Care pathways do not stabilize
aggressive clients; staff are responsible for the necessary interventions. Option C: Care pathways do
not relieve nurses of the responsibility of planning; pathways may, however, make the task easier.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
