Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
The apical pulse is located at the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line.

A. Intuition. B. Apathy. C. Empathy. D. Advocacy.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Intuition refers to understanding or knowing something without the need for conscious reasoning. It doesn’t fit in this context as the nurse’s actions are deliberate and based on the patient’s needs.
Choice B rationale
Apathy refers to a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern. It is the opposite of what the nurse is demonstrating. The nurse is showing concern for the patient’s situation and taking action to help.
Choice C rationale
Empathy refers to the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. While empathy may motivate the nurse’s actions, it does not fully describe the action of contacting a social worker to assist the patient.
Choice D rationale
Advocacy refers to the act of pleading for, supporting, or recommending a course of action. The nurse is advocating for the patient by recognizing their needs and seeking assistance from a social worker.
