Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Persons who display judgmental attitudes are often inflexible and run the risk of neglecting the perception of others, possibly arriving at an opinion based on their values without enough facts or enough regard for what other people may feel or think. Affective incongruence occurs when the client's mood is not congruent with the situation. The nurse in this instance is not being open-minded or conveying jealousy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Individuals who display an open-minded attitude do not make decisions until they are aware of all the facts of the situation. It is especially important to be open-minded when dealing with clients from various cultures and ethnic backgrounds. The student is displaying a judgmental or biased opinion of the mentally ill. Introversion is a personality trait.
