Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Nursing is the only major discipline listed in which a person can be licensed without a baccalaureate degree in the discipline. Most health-related disciplines require a degree advanced even beyond the baccalaureate level.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

This question helps to determine whether the client is prepared to act on the decision made. A question to assess whether the client has considered all of the treatment options available would be something like, What are the benefits and risks of your decision? A question to assess whether the client was able to choose freely among treatment options would be something like, Did you have any say or choice in this decision? A question to assess whether the client feels good about the decision made would be something like, How do you feel about your decision?
