Answer to Question 1

3. Becoming

Rationale:
There are five aspects of spirituality. Becoming involves reflection and allowing life to unfold to know who one is. This is what the client is demonstrating. Value is having cherished beliefs and standards. Meaning is having purpose. Connecting is relating to others or to an Ultimate Other.

Answer to Question 2

1. Signs and symptoms of metabolic alkalosis
3. Proper food handling techniques

Rationale:
The family of anyone experiencing prolonged vomiting should be taught the signs and symptoms of metabolic alkalosis. In this case, the nurse would include teaching about proper methods of food handling to prevent further episodes of food poisoning. Food patterns of the adolescent are not the precipitating factor of the food poisoning, nor would immunizations prevent this disease. Unless the family asks, it is not necessary to teach normal laboratory findings.
