Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hospitalization is justified when the client is a danger to self or others, has dangerously
decompensated, or needs intensive medical treatment. Options A, C, and D do not necessarily
describe clients who would require inhospital treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Clinical pathways provide guidelines for assessments, interventions, treatments, and outcomes as
well as a designated timeline for accomplishment. Deviations from the timeline must be reported and
investigated. Clinical pathways streamline the care process and save money. Option A: Care
pathways do not identify obstacles; staff do this. Option B: Care pathways do not stabilize
aggressive clients; staff are responsible for the necessary interventions. Option C: Care pathways do
not relieve nurses of the responsibility of planning; pathways may, however, make the task easier.
