Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Although all of these options are correct about the importance of research to nursing, the final focus is always making a difference that matters for improving client care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The patient self-determination states that the client has the right to choose to participate or not participate in healthcare decisions. The client does not have to make decisions, but has the right to make decisions if desired. Responsibility for health falls on the client rather than on healthcare professionals. Each individual's concept of health is important and legitimate for that individual. Although clients lack expert remembering, they have their own ideas about health and illness.
