Answer to Question 1

C
A test for stereognosis occurs when the examiner places a small familiar object, such as a key, paper clip, or coin, in the client's palm; the client manipulates the object and correctly identifies it.
A test for graphesthesia is conducted when the examiner uses a blunt object to draw a number or letter on the client's palm. The client is asked to identify it.
Discriminative sensation encompasses three tests of fine touch, which require a higher level of sensory cortex function because clients must analyze and interpret the stimulus with their eyes closed.
A test for extinction occurs when the examiner touches both arms in symmetrical places at the same time. The client reports that two places were touched and identifies the locations.

Answer to Question 2

A
As the national voice of Canadian nurses, the CNA is the representative to the federal govern-ment and national organizations for nurses across the country.
Professional nursing organizations establish education and practice standards for nurses, carry out the regulatory functions of registration and licensure, and discipline members who do not meet these standards.
The Canadian Confederation of Nurses Unions was formed in 1981 to represent the interest of nurses in both watchdog and lobbying activities. This organization offers support to its unionized members.
Nursing associations such as the RNAO exist in each province and territory, and are the voice of registered nurses in those regions. They are the official representatives of the nursing profession, and aim to increase public understanding of nursing and its impact on the health of individuals, families, and communities. Nursing associations lobby the provincial government.
