Answer to Question 1

D
One can assess the functional ability of mobility and independence by observing the patient's ability to dress, comb hair, bathe, and feed self without assistance as well as the patient's ability to move within the milieu and maintain contact with others. The remaining options are not focused on physical ability as is the correct option.

Answer to Question 2

D
The American Holistic Nurses Association code of ethics includes many of the principles of other nursing ethical codes (responsibilities toward client and coworkers and protection of the client from harmful acts). In addition, this code adds provision for nurses' responsibilities toward self and the environment and their behavior toward other nurses.
