Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Backing away is the way that humans act when their personal space is violated. The client has not indicated that he wants a different caregiver.
2. The client will most likely act in the same manner later. The nurse should understand that the client's boundaries were violated.
3. Backing away is the classic sign that the nurse has gotten too close. The nurse should explain the procedure and wait for the client to signal that an approach by the nurse is accepted.
4. Sitting on the side of the bed will only increase the client's anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. The Jewish faith does not allow dairy and meat on the same tray.
2. The physician orders the diet, not the individual meals.
3. Catholics do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent.
4. The dietician does not usually order meals, but rather seeks to guide the client to make choices that are within the diet guidelines ordered by the physician.
