Answer to Question 1

C
This response shows the client sincerity and honesty, which are components of being genuine. The nurse should not offer too much personal information, such as providing information about her own divorce. When the nurse says that she is sorry that the client is experiencing the difficult time, it is an example of a sympathetic response.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The nurse should suspect that this client may be a victim of incest. Many women who are battered have low self-esteem and have feelings of guilt, anger, fear, and shame. Women in abusive relationships often grew up in an abusive home.
