Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Self-nurturing is not selfish. When nurses have strong, grounded connections to themselves, they are better able to form meaningful connections with patients. The nurse who puts on the oxygen mask first before helping another person is exemplifying self-care. The other choices are selfish, harmful, or critical of others.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Anticoagulant therapy is used for DVT prevention and treatment. For an existing DVT, anticoagulant therapy prevents extension of the clot, development of a new clot, or embolization (embolus traveling through the blood stream). Anticoagulants do not dissolve a clot.
