Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Modeling involves imitating others in the expectation that one will receive rewards such as those other people seem to be getting.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Glass doors on bulletin boards pose a risk to client safety because, if broken, the shards could be used to injure self or others. Although building features are beyond the nurse's ability to influence, the nurse can make suggestions to improve the physical structure of the environment to ensure safety of all clients. Potted plants, plastic clothes hangers, and breakaway shower rods are all examples of important safety features to be considered in hospital-based care.
