Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse is functioning in an advocacy role when collaborating with the client and treatment team to discuss client problems and needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A degree of the responsibility for the suicidal client's safety is given to the client. When a client shares with staff a plan for suicide, the client is participating in a plan for safety by communicating thoughts of self-harm that would initiate interventions to prevent suicide.
