Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Collaboration means a collegial working relationship with other healthcare providers to supply client care. Collaborative practice requires the discussion of diagnoses and management in the delivery of care. Case management involves one or more individuals overseeing the needs and requirements of a particular individual's health. Health promotion activities include disease prevention and healthy lifestyle interventions. Health education would be included in this particular situation, but collaboration is a more inclusive definition of what is occurring with these individuals and the care they require.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Forming a humanistic-altruistic system of values is practicing loving-kindness and equanimity within context of caring consciousness. Enabling and sustaining faith-hope is being authentically present and enabling and sustaining the deep belief system and subjective life world of self and the one receiving care. Promoting and accepting the expression of positive and negative feelings and emotions is being present to and supportive of the expression of emotions as a connection with the deeper spirit of self and the one receiving care. Promoting transpersonal teaching-learning is engaging in genuine teaching-learning that attends to the unity of being and meaning and stays within the client's frame of reference.
