Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Associating with others who are experiencing similar problems is most helpful. The family will receive needed information and support. An adult care home would not be a suitable placement. Social involvement with others is not as high a priority as receiving support and information. This is not appropriate, because a plan for care that considers future deteriora-tion must evolve.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This response shows a belief in the worth and dignity of each patient. It suggests that the nurse will be able to be accepting and nonjudgmental. One option shows a lack of under-standing of universal precautions. The other options do not answer the question or sidesteps the issue.
