Answer to Question 1

D
In restorative settings, nurses recognize that success is dependent on effective and early partner-ing with patients and their families. Although rest is good, family involvement is the priority. Pushing the patient beyond his or her limit is not helpful. Not letting anybody visit is contraindi-cated.

Answer to Question 2

A
The three phases of the interview process are orientation, working, and termination. Assessment, evaluation, and planning are phases in the nursing process.
