Answer to Question 1

C
A client should be instructed in the use of call systems installed in tub and shower areas. In case a client becomes weak or faint while in the tub, the client should be instructed to pull the plug in the tub and then call the nurse to prevent the risk of drowning.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
According to the model, there are five elements of critical thinking: knowledge base, experience, competence (e.g., problem solving or clinical decision making), attitudes, and standards. Intricate is not an element in the critical thinking model.
