Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Reviewing the goal and giving praise may encourage the client to do better. Extending the time frame for the outcome may increase the client's compliance. 1. This is coercive. 2. No data imply that the mother was not objective. 4. A withdrawn client would consider this intervention intru-sive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Agencies usually provide security personnel to accompany nurses in high-crime neighborhoods in large cities. Arrangements need to be made in advance of the visit. 1. The client may not be able to provide information related to safety factors. 2. The nurse should notify the supervisor before leaving to visit the client. 3. Carrying a concealed weapon does not guarantee safety, nor does it mean that other safety measures should not be used.
