Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Synergy means that the sum of the efforts of the parties is greater than the parts. It does not mean that the client has final responsibility for decision-making or that responsibility for health remains with the client. It does not mean that the parties value and respect diversity of knowledge bases.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Benner describes six types of power the nurses use when dealing with clients and significant others. These are powers that are associated with caring. Benner's six types of power are not associated with becoming, curing, or healing.
