Answer to Question 1

B, D
Everyone has limits. For healthcare providers, too many demands over too long a period of time can lead to burnout, a feeling of being overwhelmed and demoralized. The same can happen for clients and families. For clients and their families, dealing with the cumulative effect of illness and other life disruptions can break down what might otherwise be excellent coping skills. Therefore, their response many not be typical of what they usually have demonstrated. In this item, the long-term effects of caring for a family member with mental illness such as schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease are most likely circumstances that can cause burnout. Caring for an infant growing a first tooth and caring for a child with a broken leg are short-term situations with an end in sight.

Answer to Question 2

B
A client outcome criterion states the client health status or behaviors one wishes to effect. Client will sit out of bed . . . is a client outcome criterion. The other options are examples of organizational criteria used to evaluate the quality of care throughout the institution.
