Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Consultation and diagnostic tests are included in the secondary level of health care. The first contact with a general physician is the primary care, and the reference to a highly specialized facility for desensitization is the tertiary care level. The secondary and tertiary care facilities are equipped to provide highly specialized care. Extended care is the care provided to clients who no longer require acute hospital care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should assess the client's strength and mobility, because doing so helps to determine the need for additional personnel or a mechanical lifting device. Arrange the chair or stretcher next to or close to the bed on the client's stronger side, if there is one, to ensure safety. Locking the wheels of the bed, wheelchair, or stretcher prevents rolling and ensures safety. The client will not likely be able to transfer independently.
