Answer to Question 1

C
A nursing intervention to establish an effective relationship is to believe the patient. Although the other options are not wrong, they do not help establish an effective relationship.

Answer to Question 2

B
Defense mechanisms are unconscious reactions that offer protection to the self from stressful situations. Rationalization offers a reasonable explanation for an event rather than facing reality.
