Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
In this case, following the client's wishes is an integral part of routine nursing care, as it helps individualize nursing care to this particular client. The nurse must be nonjudgmental and communicate respect for the client's individuality.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Cohen's empowering model related that those at the end of their life are more likely to reaffirm major themes in their life. From the 50s till the 70s, persons reevaluate life and feel a new sense of inner liberation as expressed in the distracters by discussion of goals. After the late 70s, older adults restate and reaffirm their major themes, including the desire to live well to the very end and have a positive impact on others.
