Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When the role of the nurse and the role of the patient shift, boundary blurring may arise. In this situation, the nurse is becoming overinvolved with the patient as a probable result of unrecognized countertransference . When boundary issues occur, the need for supervision exists. The situation does not describe sexual harassment. Data are not present to suggest positive regard or advocacy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The invitation creates a social relationship rather than a therapeutic relationship.
