Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The co-worker is not caring for the client, and should not be viewing anything about the client. All other actions by the nurse are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: When a client asks the nurse for help with referrals for self-help groups or groups related to education of a particular disease process, the nurse is capable of assisting the client without consulting the physician or nurse manager. Community referrals are a nursing responsibility.
