Answer to Question 1

D
Encourage patients to participate in their care, and especially encourage them to continue to learn and investigate ideas that can then be discussed with their health care providers.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
The three domains that should be considered are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Cognitive relates to intellectual, affective is concerned with values, and psychomotor is concerned with the mastery of motor skills. Compliance with a medication regimen requires one to know the dose and dosing intervals, value the effects of the medication, and have the ability to obtain the medication.
