Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Professionalism refers to professional character, spirit, or methods. It is a set of attributes and a way of life that implies responsibility and commitment. Florence Nightingale influenced nursing professionalism a great deal, but simply learning about her influence does not constitute professionalism because it refers to a way of life. Professionalization is the process of becoming professional, which is acquiring characteristics considered to be professional and upholding the standards of a profession.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Restoring health focuses on the ill client, and it extends from early detection (such as checking for occult blood in feces) through helping the client during the recovery period. Health promotion and wellness activities enhance the quality of life and maximize personal potential. Rehabilitation is an activity of health restoration.
