Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Termination should begin in the orientation phase to minimize feelings of loss when the nurseclient relationship ends. Bringing a therapeutic conclusion to the relationship occurs when progress has been made toward attainment of mutually set goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse is using the therapeutic communication technique of making observations when noting that the client smiles when talking about physical violence. The technique of making observations encourages the client to compare personal perceptions with those of the nurse.
