Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: It is imperative that nurses attend to their own needs, because caring for self is central to caring for others.
Rationale 2: As nurses take on multiple commitments to family, work, school, and community, they risk exhaustion, burnout, and stress.
Rationale 3: This nurse is trying to stay on top of the many tasks involved in a daily routine.
Rationale 4: This nurse is caring for other people.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Nutrition and exercise are necessary for a healthy lifestyle, but key words to remember are balance and moderation. Exercising every day for at least an hour an half does not demonstrate balance.
Rationale 2: Completely avoiding a certain nutrient or keeping the nutritional aspects of one's life so strict that there can be no variance is difficult and indicates more of a compulsive nature than a healthy one.
Rationale 3: Nutrition and exercise are necessary for a healthy lifestyle, but key words to remember are balance and moderation.
Rationale 4: Exercising more on days when feeling guilty about a snack is not permitting variation or balance.
