Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The women's movement has influenced nurses, many of whom are women to be more assertive and independent. Today's nursing role is more collaborative, rather than nurses being subservient to physicians. Changes in nursing education are one of the most influential nursing trends. Because of limitations on payment for healthcare, higher levels of skill, and specialization, hospital stays are markedly shorter than they were 10 years ago. Clients in all healthcare facilities are more acutely ill than in years past and these influence nursing.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When a client is being treated at home, it is important for the nurse to teach the client's family members how to operate sophisticated equipment, such as a patient- controlled analgesia pump. The nurse or healthcare individual provides primary health care to the clients and not the family members. The nurse working in healthcare needs to understand the advanced levels of care. It is not the responsibility of the family members to understand higher levels of skills. To reduce the expenses incurred on the client's treatment, hospital stays may be need to be decreased.
