Answer to Question 1

C
Subacute care provides services for clients who are no longer critically ill but have complex medical needs. It is designed to fill the gap between acute care and the traditional long-term care facility. The subacute care facility is usually a section within a long-term care facility. The nurses either have a background in critical care or are trained with additional education. They provide services such as intensive rehabilitation therapies, wound and pain management, oncology care, postsurgical services, peritoneal dialysis, ventilator care, cardiac monitoring, and nutritional support. Clients are usually discharged in 20 to 30 days.

Answer to Question 2

B
Self-awareness relates to consciously knowing how one thinks, feels, believes, and behaves at any specific time.
