Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Four-point restraint is the most restrictive of the interventions mentioned above, with surveillance being the least. When promoting safety, the method of last resort would be the most restrictive measure.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
If a client wishes to meet with a healer, the nurse should make this possible. It is also prudent for the nurse to assess why the client has this need, but making the visit possible should be the priority.
