Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The nurse is responsible for options A and D, but client education about illness and medications
usually begins on day 2 after assessments are completed. Providing a safe environment begins at the
time of admission. Option B is usually the responsibility of activities therapists. Option C would be
the responsibility of a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the role of the nurse and the role of the client shift, boundary blurring may arise. In this
situation the nurse is becoming overinvolved with the client as a probable result of unrecognized
countertransference . When boundary issues occur, the need for supervision exists. Option B: The
situation does not describe sexual harassment. Options C and D: Data are not present to suggest
positive regard or egalitarian behavior.
