Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. A clogged sink is not abuse.
B Incorrect. The resident is not going to be transferred; the entire building is mov-ing to a new facility.
C Correct. The nurse violates the resident's right to voice a grievance and to have the problem fixed. If the residents were moving into the new building in a few days, the nurse's response might be suitable; but, without specifying a time limit, the nurse has violated the resident's right.
D Incorrect. A resident's condition or treatments are not mentioned by the resi-dent.

Answer to Question 2

C
When a family is in discord, a grieving member can be unable to or consider him or herself per-mitted to express grief by socially acceptable means. The brother's behavior is most likely a grief reaction, although it could be indicative of a personality disorder. The brother can feel that the most respectful thing he can do for the family members is to stay out of their way. The brother has suffered an acute loss.
