Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

Activities that would prepare nursing students for the delivery of nursing care include time management, communication, establishing a support system, self-awareness, stress management, a sense of humor, and preparation for crisis and loss. Negative body image is not desired.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

Common factors that contribute to a client not following the plan of care include lack of family support, inability to afford treatment, limited access to treatment, and adverse physical or emotional effects of treatment. The burden of caring for her husband may be placing stress on the client, and causing her blood pressure to be elevated despite engaging in health promotion and blood pressure-lowering activities.
