Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The nursing student needs further instruction about moderate IDD, because individuals diagnosed with moderate IDD are capable of academic skill up to a second-grade level. Moderate IDD reflects an IQ range of 35 to 49.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: In examining a number of studies, Andresen and associates identified four components that were consistently evident in the recovery process. These components are hope, responsibility, self and identity, and meaning and purpose. Under responsibility, this model tasks the client, not the health-care team, with taking responsibility for his or her life and well-being.
