Answer to Question 1

B
Release of information without patient authorization violates the patient's right to privacy. The other options are acceptable nursing practices.

Answer to Question 2

D
Caregiver role strain is evidenced by the daughter's impaired function at work, the level of distress within the family, and the helplessness experienced by the patient's daughter. It would be the priority diagnosis, since both the family and the patient are at psychological and physiological risk until it is resolved.
