Answer to Question 1

A
Set minimum practice requirements are based on the certification the nurse is seeking. After passing the initial examination, the nurse maintains certification through ongoing continuing ed-ucation and clinical or administrative practice.
A specialized examination is given according to the specific area of nursing practice in which certification is being sought.
A master's degree in nursing is not required for certification in a specialty area.
Individual provinces do not grant certification by request. Certification in a specialty area re-quires passing the examination for certification in that area and meeting minimal practice re-quirements.

Answer to Question 2

A
During the yearning and searching phase of Bowlby's phases of mourning, the nurse antici-pates that the client may have outbursts of tearful sobbing and acute distress.

During the numbing phase of Bowlby's phases of mourning, the nurse anticipates that the cli-ent may act stunned by the loss.
During the reorganization phase of Bowlby's phases of mourning, the nurse anticipates that the client may discuss the change in role that will occur.
