Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
There are clinical situations in which it is unadvisable to provide personal information about oneself. However, other situations merit the cautious sharing of personal information; this is one. Providing her name gives the student credibility and establishes trust. To withhold this type of information would make the client uncomfortable and possibly suspicious of the student.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Prejudice is a judgment or opinion (preconceived notion) that has been made or formed before any knowledge or facts have been gathered. In option D, the student has already assumed that because the client has AIDS, he is gay and also may use IV drugs, and therefore, the student's question reflects prejudice. Asking a question regarding the development of depression following a diagnosis of AIDS in young people, investigating the physiologic reason for depression occurring in a client diagnosed with AIDS, and determining if the client's family has knowledge of the depression are all relevant questions posed by the student nurse.
