Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Psychiatricmental health nursing interventions that would promote advocacy include monitoring treatment planning and delivery of service for the abuse of client rights. Advocacy also includes evaluating policy for infringement of client rights, providing treatment for indigent clients, and speaking out if resource limitations threaten services for vulnerable individuals. Nurses who advocate for clients should also question their peers if care appears to be based on common stereotypes of illness rather than the client's individual needs.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Domestic violence results from an interaction of neurobiological, personality, situational, and societal factors that have an impact on families. Domestic violence occurs at all levels of income and education and is not necessarily caused by overworked parents. Data provided by a police commissioner would not address causes. A demanding workload may be a contributor, but it is not the sole cause of domestic violence.
