Answer to Question 1

D
Because the client is unconscious, the risk for airway obstruction is present. Options B and C are
probably not possible to accomplish and take lower priority than preserving physiological integrity.
Option A is also of lower priority than preserving physiological functioning.

Answer to Question 2

D
Studies have shown that most clients who complete vocational rehabilitation programs are capable
of some level of employment and, in addition, demonstrate significant improvement in assertiveness
and work behaviors as well as decreased feelings of depression.
