Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
The most therapeutic nursing communication is the one that facilitates the patient's expression of feeling and provides an evidence-based practice framework for decision making that is empowering. By presenting the most recent evidence on the topic, the nurse is making a nonjudgmental, nonbiased response that is both professional and therapeutic in its stance.
