Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 4, 5
Nursing responds to this greater concern for health promotion by providing programs in the community such as health fairs and wellness programs; educational programs for specific diseas-es; and client and family teaching activities in hospitals, clinics, primary care facilities, and other health care settings.
While admirable, organizing a benefit for cancer research is not an activity directed towards health promotion and wellness but rather towards research that will benefit the population as a whole rather than specific individuals.
Presenting a workshop on a specific nursing intervention is not an activity directed toward health promotion and wellness but rather towards professional development of the nurses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Client advocacy is a nursing responsibility. The human rights movement changed the way society views the rights of all of its members, including minorities, clients with terminal illness, pregnant women, and older adults. Many groups have special health care needs, and nursing responds by respecting the human rights of all clients and their right to quality care. Nurses advocate the rights of all clients.
Clients do require someone to focus on their needs; advocacy is a responsibility of the nurse but the concept of the nurse as an advocate was established well before the human rights movement.
Caring for clients is the focus of nursing practice, but caring physically and emotionally for a cli-ent as a nursing responsibility was established well before the human rights movement.
Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and with respect. The realization of that truth was im-pacted by the human rights movement; however, this option does not directly relate to nursing.
