Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Community-based nursing practice, admission and discharge from a health care setting, transfer from one setting to another, and readiness for home health care all have to do with the continuity of care and are client-focused. In other words, they focus on a client's needs and the nurse's role in providing that continuity. The other answers are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The Joint Commission accredits health care organizations and has required that to maintain client safety the wristband with the identification number/bar-code, client's name, physician's name, and other important identifying information be worn by the client. It does not require clients to sign advanced directives, and does not regulate nursing practice regarding medications and standard precautions.
