Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Empowerment is tapping into power from within one's self and is different from gaining power from another person.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Empowerment enables patients to take control over at least part of their lives. The nurse has to be careful not to exert power over those who are more disadvantaged than the nurse.
