Answer to Question 1

D
For a creatinine excretion test, note the patient's height and sex on the laboratory request because the normal values are standardized on the basis of these variables.

Answer to Question 2

2. The client is seen talking with the parents of the young victim and thanking them for their son's gift of life.

Rationale:
The client was having a moral dilemma regarding receiving the kidney of a young victim of an accident. The client talking with the parents of the victim is evidence that the moral dilemma was resolved. The client needed to face the moral dilemma and resolve it before he could move on. The other statements do not demonstrate a client experiencing a moral dilemma and are incorrect.
