Answer to Question 1

B
A nurse's negative preconceived ideas about a patient and negative feelings toward the patient usually result in frustration and mutual withdrawal. Supervision would cause the nurse to explore the origins of the feelings and make changes as necessary. The other options suggest positive outcomes, which rarely occur in the face of negative feelings on the part of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

A
After termination of a long-term relationship, the patient and new nurse usually have to begin at ground zero, the orientation phase, to build a new relationship. If termination is successfully completed, the orientation phase sometimes progresses quickly to the working phase. Other times, even after successful termination, the orientation phase may be prolonged.
