Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Option C permits clarification to ensure that both the nurse and client share mutual understanding of
the communication. Option A is a closed-ended question. Options B and D are implied questions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Rationale: Resistance to routine procedures is rarely related to the psychiatric client being perverse
or having an uncooperative personality trait. More often resistance is related to anxiety, fear,
suspicion, cognitive impairment, or lack of knowledge.
