Answer to Question 1

B
When a client has an order for daily weight, the weight should be obtained at the same time of day on the same scale, with the client wearing the same type of clothing. The scale should be balanced before each client is weighed.

Answer to Question 2

D
To provide holistic care, nurses must recognize the spiritual dimension of every client and help the client to meet spiritual needs (the desire to find meaning and purpose in life, pain, and death). Spiritual care (recognition of spiritual needs and assistance given in meeting them) of clients is important for nurses to consider as they enable clients to identify and use their spiritual beliefs to cope with health crises.
