Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale 1: Increasing RN-to-client ratio generally increases costs.
Rationale 2: Increasing RN-to-client ratio has been shown to decrease client mortality.
Rationale 3: Increasing RN-to-client ratio generally decreases length of stay.
Rationale 4: Increasing RN-to-client ratio generally increases quality of care.

Answer to Question 2

be sure of anything the client communicates. Just because a person is adopted, elderly, or
originally from another country does not automatically mean communication will be
influenced.
