Answer to Question 1

4. A symptom of hypertension.

Rationale:
When symptoms of hypertension do appear, they are usually vague. Headache, generally in the back of the head and neck, may be present on awakening, subsiding during the day. The client is not describing a migraine or sinus headache. There is not enough information to determine whether or not the client has spinal stenosis.

Answer to Question 2

3. The nurse has the responsibility to ensure the client has access to health care services

Rationale:
The nurse has the responsibility to ensure the client has access
to health care services that meet health needs. While the client does have the right to make choices and decisions, the nurse working with an agency to provide health care to the underinsured does not demonstrate this value. While the client does have the right to expect a nurseclient relationship based on shared respect, the nurse working with an agency to provide health care to the underinsured does not demonstrate this value. The nurse's responsibility to make choices and decision is not one of the values basic to client advocacy.
