Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should refer the client's family to the social services department in the healthcare facility. The social services department provides counseling and assistance to clients and families in matters of finance, home care, discharge planning, and living arrangements. The chaplaincy services provide spiritual support to the clients and families during illness, surgery, and death. Volunteer services often bring clients to the nursing unit from the admitting department and transport clients for discharge or special tests. They also assist families of clients who are having surgery or are in the intensive care unit, or new fathers during delivery. Telecommunications enables healthcare providers to communicate with clients in different locations using a telephone and a computer.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The radiology department performs diagnostic studies that include xerography, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The electroencephalogra phy department records the results of the brain wave test.
