Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Florence Nightingale's concepts include that nature alone cures. Nursing assists the person to an improved condition for nature to take its course. Virginia Henderson believes that mind and body are one. Nursing's role is to assist clients to perform functions they would perform unaided if they had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge. Dorethea Orem's theory builds on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, nursing assists clients to meet self-care needs necessary to maintain life, health, and well-being.
Sister Callista Roy believes an individual's state of health/illness moves back and forth on a continuum.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
If a client sustains head trauma and fluid is noted leaking from the ears or nose, this fluid should be tested for glucose, which is present in CSF. If the glucose test is positive, notify a healthcare provider immediately, because leaking CSF usually indicates a life-threatening situation.
