Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The notion of assisting the patient in a return to wholeness, which involves body, mind, and spirit, best conveys the role of the nurse healer. Facilitating change may or may not be done by the nurse healer. Preventing and treating illness is beyond the scope of the gerontological nurse healer. Ensuring longevity and productivity cannot be achieved by the gerontological nurse healer.
