Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
The nurseclient therapeutic relationship should include promoting client insight into problematic behavior, collaboration to set appropriate goals, meeting the physical and psychological needs of the client, and ensuring therapeutic termination. The nurse's psychological needs should not be addressed within the nurseclient relationship.

Answer to Question 2

D
Self-disclosure on the part of the nurse may be appropriate when it is judged that the information may therapeutically benefit the client. It should never be undertaken for the purpose of meeting the nurse's needs.
