Answer to Question 1

A
The therapist's use of the computer can be threatening and may, in some cases, be a potential hazard to good patient communication. The patient can be intimidated to the point of shutting down. In addition, the therapist who has to shift focus from the patient to the computer can miss important verbal and nonverbal messages.

Answer to Question 2

D
Because a needle has to be inserted through the chest wall to perform a thoracentesis, pneumothorax is a possible complication. Bronchoscopy could cause bronchospasm or hemoptysis. Increased BUN is associated with kidney failure.
