Answer to Question 1

A
A simple way of showing respect is to address the patient by title and surname rather than assume the patient would wish to be called by the first name. The distracters violate confidentiality and autonomy or exemplify beneficence and fidelity.

Answer to Question 2

D
In the working stage, members actively interact to help each other accomplish goals, and trust is more developed, allowing conflict and disagreement to be expressed. Focusing on trust and confidentiality typically occur in the orientation phase as part of establishing group norms. Commonality and universality are also themes typically expressed in the orientation phase, whereas reflecting on progress is a task addressed in the termination phase.
