Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

There are two types of euthanasia discussed in the textbook: active and passive. Withdrawal of life-sustaining technology is considered passive euthanasia. Active euthanasia is purposefully doing something that will result in the client's death, such as knowingly and purposefully administering a medication overdose. Alleviation and illegal are not forms of euthanasia discussed in the textbook.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Benner describes five levels of proficiency in nursing that are based upon the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition derived from a study of chess players and airline pilots. The five stages are novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert. The other options do not list these stages.
