Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
In most facilities, the call signal in the client's bathroom causes an additional light to flash or a buzzer to sound at a central station. This emergency signal may be used by the client when experiencing difficulty while in the bathroom or by staff to request immediate assistance; for example, if the client experiences cardiac arrest. Staff must respond immediately to the emergency signal.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse can develop therapeutic communication with the client by helping him or her to resolve feelings and learn to speak up. This will help the nurse gain the confidence of the client while he or she feels cared for by the nurse. Having the client discuss concerns with other clients, talking with the client using direct questions, or asking the client's family to participate in client care does not help develop therapeutic communication with the client.
