Answer to Question 1
Answer: D
Whereas calling in sick for a frivolous reason demonstrates a lack of commitment, calling in sick with a bona fide illness demonstrates protection of the clients who are already compromised. Attending a political rally may be important, but for the student attending class demonstrates the greater commitment. Studying for a class exam is also important, but not more important than learning clinical skills. The student who demonstrates commitment seeks out as many new learning experiences as possible.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: A, B
The nurse is solving problems and planning care for the client by coordinating and collaborating with the other health team members who will participate in client care. All members of the team may be experts, but the level of expertise is not the role the nurse is exhibiting. The nurse is not responsible for how the members of the health team perform their jobs as a team leader would be. The nurse is not acting as an authoritarian in this case; the nurse is planning care and coordination. Differentiated practice involves nursing care from all levels of education and is not illustrated in this scenario.
The nurse conducts the health history as the first step in the nursing assessment
