Answer to Question 1

A
Problems are defined and priorities for work are set as the nurse and patient collaborate during the orientation stage. This sets the stage for transition into the working stage. Management of emotions can occur during the working stage.

A
Release of information without patient authorization violates the patient's right to privacy. The other options are acceptable nursing practices.
