Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, F
Foundations of primary care include first contact, longitudinality, comprehensiveness, and
coordination. First contact involves the initial evaluation of the client, when the health dysfunction,
treatment, and goals are defined. Longitudinality refers to sustaining a clinician-patient relationship
over time. Comprehensiveness refers to managing a wide variety of health care needs across health
settings and among different health professionals. Coordination involves referrals and follow-up.
Second contact and consensus building are not related to the foundations of primary care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Anger is an emotional response to a situation either real or perceived which nurses and other health care professionals may encounter on a fairly regular basis. Several methods for dealing with anger exist, but some of these may have unanticipated or potential drawbacks. Three of these methods are: 1) denying and repressing anger (may cause resentment); 2) expressing anger (may lead to defensiveness on the part of the respondent); and 3) turning the other cheek (may contribute to continued mistreatment and a lack of trust).
