Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Directing the care team is leadership (A) guiding delivery, per definition. Teamwork (B) collaborates, literacy (C) understanding, education (D) teaching not direction-specific. A fits the nurse's role for Mr. Gary, making it correct.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: General Adaptation Syndrome, by Hans Selye, describes stress responses: alarm (fight-or-flight), resistance (coping), and exhaustion (depletion). The Health Belief Model addresses behavior via perceived risks, the Transtheoretical Model focuses on change stages, and the Health Promotion Model targets wellness actions. In nursing, recognizing these stages helps manage stress-related conditions, like burnout or chronic illness, adjusting care to support adaptation or recovery during prolonged stressors.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Post-bladder surgery, patients risk falls from pain, medication, or catheter-related mobility issues. Raising side rails prioritizes safety, preventing injury critical to recovery. Turning prevents pressure ulcers but is secondary. Range-of-motion exercises and massage aid circulation but don't address immediate risks. Nurses ensure a secure environment, supporting healing by minimizing complications like falls that could disrupt surgical repair.
