Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Communication deficits can arise from the kind of sensory deprivation that occurs in some agencies and units such as intensive care units. A communication disability definition includes any client who has any impairment in body structure or function that interferes with communication. Specifically, the client has a communication difficulty due to impaired functioning of one or more of his five senses or he has impaired cognitive processing functioning. Communication deficits can arise from the kind of sensory deprivation that occurs in some agencies and units such as intensive care units. Two individuals can have the same sensory impairment but not be equally communication disabled. Each person compensates for their impairment in different ways. The primary nursing goal is to maximize the client's ability to successfully interact with the health care system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Mobilizing resources is classified as a secondary prevention intervention. A primary intervention is to classify the stressor. Educating client and family is a primary intervention. Coordinating resources is a tertiary intervention.
