Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Involvement currently refers to promoting the self-efficacy of the client through engagement. Involvement does not necessarily require the inclusion of many different disciplines or the client's friends and family, though these are not incompatible with the concept of involvement. Explaining the evidence for interventions may sometimes be appropriate, but this is not the essence of the concept of involvement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Scheduled environmental tours or walk-arounds of the unit help establish a safe inpatient environment. Nurses continually assess all unit spaces for objects clients might use to harm themselves or others. Safety is the priority over the other listed focuses of observation.
