Answer to Question 1

B
The ideal is to provide health care services close to where patients live. This lessens the cost of care as well as the stress associated with the financial burdens of care. The focus is on the needs of the individual or family. The nurse learns to partner with patients and families so they assume responsibility for their health care decisions.

Answer to Question 2

D
Assess for pain, shortness of breath, or a change in vital signs. If present, stop exercise. Let each patient exercise at his or her own pace. Assess for joint limitations, and do not force a muscle or a joint during exercise.
