ANS: A, D, E, F
Data from interviews conducted with nurses who provide care to persons with disabilities revealed principles such as do not assume anything; adopt the client’s perspective; listen and learn from the client; gather data from the perspective of the client and family; care for the client and the family, not the disability; be well informed about community resources; and become an advocate by letting clients choose.
