Answer to Question 1

A
Health teaching is an example of a nurse-initiated intervention.
Administering medication is a physician-initiated intervention.
Ordering a computed tomography (CAT) scan is a physician-initiated intervention.
Referring a client to physiotherapy is a collaborative intervention.

Answer to Question 2

C
Difficulty breathing would be the highest-priority client need. In general, priorities that protect clients' basic needs of safety, adequate oxygenation, and circulation are high priority. High pri-orities are sometimes both physiological and psychological and may address other basic human needs.
An impending divorce is a low-priority client need. It is not directly related to a specific illness or prognosis but may affect the client's future well-being.
A nutritional deficit is an intermediate priority client need. It involves a nonlife-threatening need of the client.
Financial problems are a low-priority client need. This is not directly related to a specific illness or prognosis but may affect the client's future well-being.
