Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Therapeutic relationships differ from social relationships; in part, this is because the therapeutic relationship uses the process of interaction as a tool. It is one of the few healthy relationships in which one party helps another or acts in the best interest of another without expectation that the other person will return the action. Equal sharing, mutual knowledge, and intimate disclosures are characteristics of social relationships, not therapeutic relationships.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: One way to prevent misinterpretation of the patient's feelings is for nurses to check his or her perceptions with the patient. The nurse stating, Many people may feel angry when faced in this situation. How do you feel? is the best way for the nurse to provide empathetic care while remaining perceptive of his or her own feelings. The nurse should not tell the patient how the nurse felt in the similar situation, because this doing so puts the focus on the nurse rather than the patient. By telling the patient that the nurse is sorry for the patient, the nurse is exhibiting sympathy, not empathy.
