Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Indirect care includes nursing interventions that are performed to benefit patients but do not involve face-to-face contact with patients. Examples of indirect care include making the change-of-shift report, communicating and collaborating with members of the interdisciplinary health care team, and ensuring availability of needed equipment. Direct care refers to interventions that are carried out by having personal contact with patients. For example, direct-care interventions include cleaning an incision, administering an injection, ambulating with a patient, and completing patient teaching at the bedside. Referrals in health care involve sending a patient to another member of the interdisciplinary health care team for a consultation or other services. Delegation is the transfer of responsibility for performing a task to another person while the nurse who delegated the task still remains accountable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nurses advocate by supporting and working on behalf of patients or persons for whom they have concern. Nurses advocate for patients by coordinating care and supporting the changes necessary to improve conditions and outcomes. Effective communication and collaboration regarding patient care are essential for patient safety and positive patient outcomes. The change-of-shift reports are an example. A PCP is usually a physician or advance practice nurse. Delegation is the transfer of responsibility for performing a task to another person while the nurse who delegated the task still remains accountable.
