Answer to Question 1

C
Cognitive therapy is considered task oriented because the therapist gives the client homework assignments between sessions. For example, a client dealing with problems of anger and risk for violence may be asked to keep a journal detailing feelings of anger, situations bringing on angry feelings, and immediate behaviors following angry feelings.

Answer to Question 2

D
Due to the wide variation between cultural beliefs and norms, a nurse and client from two different cultures will likely misunderstand each other's behaviors. Everything from manner of speech, eye contact, distance between people when communicating, touching, and protocol for interaction between those of different socioeconomic status varies within cultures. For example, one person's standard for normal eye contact between professional acquaintances may be interpreted by someone of another culture as being hostile or even sexually suggestive.
