Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

The plan of nursing care should include specific instructions for education/learning needs of the client to promote self-care and independence. Competency pertains to the nurse's ability (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) to provide safe and effective care. The nurse's role includes education, counseling, and advocating, but not providing discipline to clients.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

Good personal health enables nurses not only to practice more efficiently, but also to be a health model for clients and their families. Nurses can help clients to imitate good health behaviors, and eventually integrate them into their daily life through the process of identification.
