Answer to Question 1

B
The therapeutic relationship is focused on the patient and is goal directed and designed to meet only the needs of the patient and does not extend past the period of hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

C
Empathy demonstrates that the nurse perceives the patient's feelings but does not share the emo-tion. Belittling the patient's feelings, showing sympathy, or defending the doctor makes the pa-tient feel devalued.
