Answer to Question 1

B
The correct answer lists several of the components of therapeutic use of self. The other options provide less information for the new nurse to use to continue to develop skills.

Answer to Question 2

B
It is important to understand family characteristics in both the family of origin and the present family. The other questions are related more to outcome identification and planning intervention, neither of which should be attempted until assessment is complete.
