Answer to Question 1

C
Response C describes a patient problem that nursing care can address. Responses A, B, and D are medical diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

C
Respite care is a service for caregivers who need time away from their family member. The respite worker usually comes into the home to provide care for the older adult. Response A, hospitalization, is probably inappropriate for Mr. or Mrs. Daniels. Response B, home health nursing, requires that Mr. Daniels, not his caregivers, have a skilled care need for services. The senior center (response D) might be a good referral for Mrs. Daniels while the respite worker is caring for her husband.
