Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Empathy is an approach to clients that involves trying to see clients' lives through their own lens and trying to think about their experiences as they would think about them. Self-efficacy is the belief on the part of the client that change is possible. In motivational interviewing, the home care nurse does not fight client resistance but rolls with it. Home care nurses also work to develop opportunities for clients to discover discrepancies between their current behavior and what they want to accomplish through changed behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Generally, home care agencies make sure that an initial visit is made within 24 hours after receiving a referral.
