Answer to Question 1

B
These behaviors have been identified as predictors of violent behavior.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is important to prioritize client interventions that assess the symptoms of COPD prior to any other nursing intervention. Physical needs must be prioritized according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This client's problems with oxygenation will take priority over assessing for current suicidal ideations.
