Answer to Question 1

D
A nurse who is impaired is a nurse who is habitually intemperate or is addicted to the use of alcohol or habit-forming drugs. The primary concern is for client safety. When a coworker is suspected of impairment, the nurse should document the dates, times, and observed behaviors and provide this information to the supervisor.

Answer to Question 2

C
Maslow's hierarchy of needs consists of five levels: physiologic, safety and security, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. The essence of the theory is that a person's needs can be illustrated in a pyramid with the lowest-level needs forming its base. Subsequent-level needs are built upon this base, forming a hierarchical arrangement. A person's lowest-level needs must be met before the person is motivated to achieve the next level of needs; higher-level needs contribute to the individual's quality of life.
