Answer to Question 1

C
The appropriate nonpharmacological pain management intervention is to quietly play music that the patient finds relaxing. Music diverts a person's attention away from pain and creates relaxation. Reassessing the patient's pain scores is done during evaluation. Building the patient's expectation of the provider's arrival does not address the patient's pain. Although yoga promotes relaxation, nurses teach relaxation techniques only when a patient is not experiencing acute pain. Because the patient is having acute pain, this is not an appropriate time to provide patient teaching.

Answer to Question 2

A
Justice refers to fairness. Allocation of resources and access to health care involve the ethical principle of justice. The client without provincial health insurance should not have to wait longer to receive health care than those with coverage. The duration of the wait should be determined by need alone.
Autonomy refers to a person's independence. Autonomy represents an agreement to respect an-other's right to determine a course of action.
Beneficence refers to taking positive actions to help others.
Nonmaleficence refers to the avoidance of causing harm or hurt to others.
