Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Nurses show respect for the client and themselves by communicating appropriately, (answer option 1), by their professional attire and grooming, (option 3), by the manner in which they deliver their care, (option 4), and by their responsiveness to the client's needs. Asking the unlicensed assistive person to answer the call bell would not be acting in a responsible manner.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Interviewing is a technique used in assessment. Interviewing the client's family gathers secondary data, yields subjective data, and can be very helpful. Reviewing the physician order sheet is not part of the process of data collection, although it will yield important information, and is indicated as part of the admission process. Determining how the client will pay is not part of the nursing process, and generally is irrelevant to the nurse. Documentation is an essential part of providing nursing care, and all assessment data should be documented, but it is considered an implementation.
