Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4, 2, 1, 3

Kramer describes a four-stage postgraduate resocialization model for the transition of graduates from educational setting to work setting: Stage I, skill and routine mastery; Stage II, social integration; Stage III, moral outrage; and Stage IV, conflict resolution.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The client advocate nurse must be assertive in representing the needs of the client and family. The nurse must be willing to become politically active and to work in areas and with agencies that are unfamiliar. The nurse must also be aware that conflicts with physicians, agency administrators, and others in health care may arise in the advocacy role and must accept this conflict rather than trying to avoid it.
