Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This direct approach invites the patient to participate in a kind, but firm manner. The patient is not given an option to simply say yes or no. It is not therapeutic to give false reassur-ance. The remaining options focus too intensively on negative thoughts and feelings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Phenelzine (Nardil) administration requires strict adherence to a restricted diet. The patient must have the cognitive ability to understand the food and medication interactions that may cause a serious reaction.
