Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse may work with the employer to create a transitional duty pool. The goal is to provide temporary work that is less physically demanding in nature than the employee's regular work. This facilitates the employee's return to the workplace earlier than if required to wait until full strength and health are regained.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The dominant cultural value is action oriented, so the client would be expected to have begun to exercise. Dominant cultural values include an emphasis on productivity and being busy. However, some persons are not action oriented but being oriented, with a focus on expression of impulses and desires.
