Answer to Question 1

B
The most therapeutic communication is the one that communicates clearly what the nurse is able to do or, in this case, not to do. Assertive people are not afraid to ask for what they want or need.

Answer to Question 2

C
The goal of crisis treatment is stabilization, with the expected outcome being no harm to self or others.
