Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Assessment of the patient's speech, including quantity, quality, and organization of speech, is part of the psychological domain. While the other answer choices are assessment domains, they do not focus on the assessment of the patient's speech.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: In the psychiatric setting, nurses use a holistic model to collect information across the domains of wellness. The information collected informs care and forms the basis of the care planning process. This holistic model ensures that the nurse identifies physiological, psychological, sociological, spiritual, and cultural aspects of the patient's life and carefully examines how the current reason for presenting to treatment relates to and influences the patient's life.
