Answer to Question 1

C
Depressed clients often seem to reject the overtures of staff and seem to resist change despite the
nurse's best efforts. Feelings of anxiety, frustration, incompetence, and even helplessness may be
engendered in the nurse. Supervision can help the nurse develop realistic expectations for the client
and the nurse. Options A and B: Pleasurable feelings are rarely the outcome of working with a
depressed client. Option D: Withdrawal and disinterest in the client on the part of the nurse are
attributable to frustration with the client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
A, B, C
Rationale: Options A, B, and C describe cultural beliefs often held by Asian American groups. They
are each based on valuing concepts of respect and restraint. Although trancelike syndromes do occur
among members of certain cultures, they are not related to this situation.
