Answer to Question 1

C
Activity groups are vehicles to facilitate patient interaction and communication with others and provide enjoyment. Although the other options are true, they are secondary in nature.

Answer to Question 2

D
Acknowledging insensitivity and apologizing for it will usually repair damage. Patients usually evaluate the nurse on overall caring rather than on one single comment. None of the other options includes both acknowledgment and apology.
