Answer to Question 1

D
The son is unable to express the hurt and pain associated with the relationship with his father. Assisting him to forgive the father and admit the wrongs in the relationship will help resolve the conflict. Guilt and anger are not gifts. Expressing gratitude is not the priority for the son.

Answer to Question 2

C
Before responding to a potentially dangerous situation, it is essential that other staff be notified of the situation and that adequate numbers of staff are prepared to come to one's assistance immediately if needed. All other actions are of lower priority or would unduly delay the nurse's response to a situation requiring a prompt response. Having a peer complete such activities would enable the responding nurse to intervene more quickly.
