Answer to Question 1

4
Holistic assessments consider the physical, social, cultural, intellectual, emotional, and spir-itual aspects of people.

Answer to Question 2

A
Informed consent most accurately describes the situation because all aspects of taking the medication were discussed with the client before she made the decision to not take the medication. If she had already been in agreement with the regimen rather than seeking other alternatives, she would have been considered noncompliant. Client teaching, such as how and when to take the medication would occur if she decided to take the medication. The client's right to privacy is not addressed in this scenario.
