Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Nurses who wish to use hypnosis in their practice must recognize that it is an advanced intervention that requires specialized training in hypnotherapy. It is also important to be aware of whether the nurse's state board of nursing identifies hypnosis as within the scope of practice of nurses. Nurses who effectively use guided meditation are not necessarily qualified to use hypnosis.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Respite care allows the client to continue living at home while providing temporary relief from excessive burdens placed on the primary caregiver. Hospice care is available only if the client has a terminal illness and is expected to die within six months. Restorative care would not provide the wife with support while she is away from home and 24-hour care provided by long-term care facilities is not required in the early stages of this disease.
