Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The nurse in a special one-day surgery center will learn new skills related to caring for the client having surgery on an outpatient basis. The nurse should already have vital sign skills. The LPN/LVN does not give IV push medications in many locations, and likely would not need this particular skill for outpatient surgery centers. The payment status of the client is handled by business office personnel, not by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Orem describes health as a state of wholeness, which includes physical, psychological, and social needs. Neuman believes that the client has an internal and external environment, and the client maintains a balance and harmony between the two. Leininger's theory centers on cultural care diversity, and Roy's model is the adaptive model of nursing.
