Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Attending the funeral, rather than avoiding attendance, is a positive way to cope.
B By being present at the time of the patient's death, the nurse is able to let go.
C Writing a letter of sympathy to the family can prove helpful for some nurses to cope with a patient's death.
D Focusing on the next patient avoids dealing with the nurse's feelings of loss related to the death of the current patient.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Exercise is instrumental in the reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. Low- to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise such as brisk walking and bicycling appear to be the most effective in lowering blood pressure.
B Weight training and high-intensity aerobics seem to have minimal benefits in lowering blood pressure.
C Isometric exercises involve tightening or tensing of muscles without moving body parts. Isometric exercise is not appropriate to help lower blood pressure.
D ROM exercises improve the patient's joint mobility. These are not the best type of exercises to help lower blood pressure.
