Answer to Question 1

C
The client is the primary decision maker in the care of healthy clients. The nurse functions as a teacher and health counselor. The provider plays a role in health promotion and screening. The family may give input, but the client is the decision maker.

Answer to Question 2

A
For any acute respiratory problem, prior to implementing interventions the nurse would assess breathing status of the patient by checking the respiratory rate and depth. When devising a plan of care for the client, nursing interventions should be listed according to priority. Airway always takes precedence, as ventilation, oxygenation, and positioning will be ineffective without a patent airway.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
