Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

By asking to not be disturbed during the interview process with the client, the nurse is exhibiting genuineness. This is not an example of positive regard, empathy, or concreteness.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
By exhibiting a willingness to the help, the client is more likely to be cooperative during the nurse-client interaction. Non-compliance, attitude, or anger are not the expected client behaviors in this situation.
