Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Termination is a time for bringing closure. A helpful technique is having the client identify changes he or she has made toward growth and sharing nurse perceptions of the client's progress. Options 1, 2, and 4 do not foster the goal of bringing closure. Instead, they open new topics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
During the preorientation phase the nurse engages in autodiagnosis regarding the client and at-tempts to uncover biases or stereotypes that could influence the contact in a nontherapeutic way. Options 1 and 2 take place in other phases of the nurse-client relationship. Option 4 is not an ex-pected outcome.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
