Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

Rationale: When nurses act as members of interdisciplinary committees, they must remember that they are obligated to model and articulate the nurse's core values and nursing principles to other team members. The team must have a unified approach, but the team members represent their profession. Fiscal responsibility and client safety issues are important but are not at the root of every problem explored by interdisciplinary committees.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

Rationale: Physicians typically approach clients with an application of pathophysiological principles and the desire to cure or treat the client. Social workers approach clients as individuals. They can assist with finances, food, clothing, and shelter. Nurses have been taught to use a holistic view of the client. Their focus would be to encourage coughing and deep-breathing exercises following surgery to prevent complications. The nurse may discuss the client's estrangement with her daughter. The nurse might determine that the client feels financially insecure. Social workers are the best resources to help clients deal with their issues regarding financial insecurity.
