Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assertiveness training assists people to maintain their own self-respect and meet their needs while respecting the rights of others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse should first assess the client for current suicidal thoughts to minimize risk of harm and provide appropriate interventions. A suicidal client is experiencing a psychiatric emergency. The crisis team should prioritize safety by assessing the client for thoughts of self-harm.
