3. it is a nice thing to do for a client.
4. the physician has written an order for instruction.

Answer to Question 1

2
Patient education is a legal component of the nursing process that was identified in the Patient's Bill of Rights. Patient education is a necessary function of nursing care. The client could be discharged without receiving instructions. Education is not done because it is a nice thing to do for a client. Client education does not necessitate a physician's order.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5, 6
When using guided imagery, all five senses can be used to include visual, auditory, kinesthetic, gustatory, and olfactory. Cognitive is not one of the five senses.
