Answer to Question 1

D
Tucker (2002) and Tucker and Spear (2006) describe situations where nurses had to complete 160 tasks in an 8-hour shift, having less than 4 minutes to attend to each task. Given that the nurse was still interrupted every 44 minutes, it is not a surprise to read that nurses experience job strain.

Answer to Question 2

B
An individual is judged competent to stand trial if he or she can answer the question, What are the charges against you? By answering the question the client demonstrates that he or she is in touch with reality. Information regarding a history of child abuse, the topic of delusions, or why they may have assaulted someone does not indicate whether the person is competent to stand trial.
