Answer to Question 1

2
External losses include those losses outside the individual.

Answer to Question 2

D
Accepting a gift creates a social rather than therapeutic relationship with the patient and blurs the boundaries of the relationship. A caring nurse will acknowledge the patient's gesture of appreciation, but this gift should not be accepted.
