Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Accompanying the client will provide a source of support during the transition and enable the nurse to assess the client's needs. Encouraging the client to make new friends is not an intervention to provide support. Encouraging the client to increase physical activity is not an intervention to provide support. Providing instruction on coping strategies does not provide direct support to the client.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The American Nurses Association will be the best resource as professional performance is addressed in standards 715 of ANA's PsychiatricMental Health Nursing Standards of Practice. The National League for Nursing primarily addresses nursing education, while the American Nurses Association Credentialing Center focuses on certification. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association develops a classification system for nursing diagnoses.
