Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Reviewing the client's medical chart is most important in determining the type of care to be given. Answer options 1, 3, and, 4 might be correct, depending on what care you will be involved in performing, but are not the first priority.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: The operative concept in the health care field today is collaborative care. The client takes responsible for her own state of health, and participates in the plan of care. The other answer options do not reflect this trend of client collaboration, and do not explain why the term client is used instead of patient.
