Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Mindful listening is best accomplished when removing environmental distractions, such as turning off the television before interviewing a client. Asking clients what they would like to drink when taking medication and encouraging the family to step outside before assessing the client are examples of conveying respect. Telling the client to get off the phone is not a therapeutic intervention.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Acupressure is a recommended CAM modality for treatment of anxiety. Ginkgo is recommended for Alzheimer's disease, not anxiety. Although running may be an outlet for anxious feelings, it is not listed as a CAM modality. Kudzu is recommended for adjunctive therapy for alcoholism, not anxiety.
