Answer to Question 1

A
Sometimes patients jump to erroneous conclusions. Questioning the evidence used by the patient to support a particular belief can be helpful. The source of the patient's data was his own thinking, rather than information supplied by superiors. The nurse could help the patient see that superior officers are unlikely to make a precipitous decision to fire him.

Answer to Question 2

A
