Answer to Question 1

A
Touch can elicit both negative and positive reactions, depending on the people involved and the circumstances of the interaction.

Answer to Question 2

B
Giving advice tells the client what to do or how to behave. It implies that the nurse knows what is best and that the client is incapable of any self-direction. It discourages independent thinking.
