Answer to Question 1

A
There are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short-term memory, or working memory, is the retention of information for a short period of time. Long-term memory is composed of declarative and nondeclarative memory. Declarative memory is facts and events that can be consciously recalled. Nondeclarative memory is composed of habits and skills, simple conditioning, priming, and nonassociative learning. Immediate and spontaneous are not types of memory.

Answer to Question 2

2. Attend to spiritual needs in order to deal with what has happened.

Rationale:
The nurse understands the importance of spiritual support in the recovery process. The client may be struggling with questions or experiencing feelings of rage and grief. This is an important component of the process that will help the client move closer to the healing phase. The client may wish to attend Mass for the other reasons given, but the nurse knows that these are not as significant to the recovery process.
