Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Information alone is rarely enough to motivate a person to act. Information is necessary to know what to do and how to do it before the person chooses to act, but other factors are primarily responsible for motivating people to change their behavior. Although other priorities may result in delay of change, the fact that the client has returned to the nurse demonstrates interest in changing. Repetition may be helpful, but apparently the nurse has given information on more than one occasion because she believes extensive information has been given.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Romans introduced many health innovations such as fresh water, public physicians, hospitals, surgeries, infirmaries, and nursing homes. Unfortunately, these services were only for the wealthy. Citizenship duties, daily street cleaning, and daily exercise were not innovations introduced by the Romans.
