Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Given the circumstances in which the nurse finds himself, he has initiated the Caring Intervention of self-care to help him better cope with a stressful work environment. A major goal of adequate and appropriate self-care activity is to help the nurse avoid professional burnout, which contributes to moral distress and has been shown to have an adverse effect on nurse-client interactions and the quality of patient care. Although self-care involves aspects of having compassion for the self, exercising self-control, and can be self-actualizing, self-care is the term included as part of the Caring Interventions framework that enhances nurses' professional practice and helps them to avoid burnout.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D, E

Research findings suggest that collaboration in health care among clients, family members, caregivers, and communities leads to improved client outcomes, a reduction in duplicated healthcare services, and a decrease in client morbidity and mortality. Collaborative efforts have also been found to decrease, rather than increase, the overall cost of healthcare services, and to contribute to an enhanced, rather than diminished, sense of autonomy. This increase in sense of autonomy has been linked to nurses' greater job satisfaction.
