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.
