Answer to Question 1

A
Nursing staff are responsible for all aspects of milieu management. The observations mentioned in this question directly relate to the safety of the unit. The other options, although part of the nurse's concerns, are unrelated to the observations cited.

Answer to Question 2

1 . C
2 . E
3 . D
4 . F
5 . B
6 . A
The fact phase allows the participants to introduce themselves and tell how each was involved, including what happened from their perspective. The thought phase follows, with all participants discussing their first thoughts of the incident. First thoughts are followed by a discussion of reactions to the event: the worst thing about the incident, what participants would like to forget, and what was most painful. Symptoms are described: what cognitive, physical, emotional, or behavioral experience they encountered at the scene and after the initial experience. The normalcy of the symptoms is affirmed, and anticipatory guidance is given regarding possible future symptoms. What has been discussed is reviewed, how closure should proceed is determined, referrals and resources are provided, and the debriefing experience is summarized.
