Answer to Question 1

C
Counseling residents and their families has the goal of assisting them with developing positive ways to express their feelings and of coping with their disability. Response A is incorrect. The practical nurse counsels residents and families to express feelings and develop positive coping skills after developing trust and rapport with the resident and family. Response B is incorrect. The goal of counseling is not to assist residents to value the care they receive, but rather to provide an opportunity to assist them in dealing with their feelings. Response D is correct, but it does not address the counseling role of the practical nurse.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nurses are instrumental in recognizing symptoms and managing medications. Nurses usually do not function directly in developing exercise plans; that is usually the work of a physical therapist.
