Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
The alliance serves as a vehicle that provides patients with an opportunity to freely discuss their needs and problems in the absence of judgment and criticism, to gain insight into their abilities, to practice new coping skills, and to heal emotional wounds. Setting boundaries is not an outcome of such an alliance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The principles that focus on the development and maintenance of a healthy alliance include: the relationship is therapeutic rather than social; the focus remains on the patient's needs and problems rather than on the nurse; the relationship is purposeful and goal directed; the rela-tionship is objective rather than subjective in quality; and the relationship is time-limited ra-ther than open-ended. The sharing of experiencing is not patient centered.
