Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Basic psychosocial needs do not change because a person is homeless. The nurse's initial priority should be establishing rapport. Once a trusting relationship is established, then the nurse can pursue other interventions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Mutual goal setting is an intervention designed to promote feelings of personal autonomy and dispel feelings of powerlessness. Although it might be easier and faster for the nurse to establish a plan and outcomes, this action contributes to the patient's sense of powerlessness. Involving the patient in decision making empowers the patient and reduces feelings of powerlessness.
