Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The psychiatric rehabilitation worker teaches clients practical, day-to-day skills for living in the community, which might include conflict resolution. Medication administration, comparison of physician orders with medication records, and assessment fall within the nursing role and cannot be delegated.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,5
Rationale: Provide reality orientation. The purpose for this is to assist in helping the client distinguish between what is real and what is imagined.
