Answer to Question 1
ANS: D
The plan, including short-term and long-term goals, is developed in consultation with the client and the family. To maximize the plan's success, it is important that the patient and family are involved. If the client expresses a disinterest, the nurse will be limited in possible interventions. Goals are identified that the client is willing to work toward with the nurse's assistance. Thus, it is most important to address the problem that the client and family think should be addressed first. The other problems can be addressed after meeting the immediate needs of the client and family.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C
Volunteers in a church are held to the same degree of accountability as are paid employees. Ministers, both ordained and nonordained, may be required to disclose confidential information in court. FCNs, as nonordained ministers, do not have client-professional privilege. Thus, HIPAA does not apply as the information has been requested by a police officer and there is not client-professional privilege involved. The faith community leader is not able to offer a resolution to this problem as client-professional privilege does not exist in this situation. Because there is not client-professional privilege, the police officer does not need to accept the nurse's refusal to share information.
A nurse shows empathy to a client.
