Answer to Question 1

A
Holistic nursing care involves a humanistic approach, not simply mechanistic, so response A is the correct answer to the question. Response B represents embracing the body, response C represents embracing the mind, and response D represents embracing the spirit.

Answer to Question 2

T
Individuals cannot be forced from one stage to the next. Denial is a way of protecting oneself from harsh truth. A person experiencing denial should be protected, supported, and assisted with activities of daily living.
