Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should make statements that would facilitate an expression of feelings from the client. The nurse should encourage the client to express her fears and insecurity. This conveys that the nurse is there to provide support. The nurse should avoid giving an opinion and should in fact allow the client to hold on to the feelings; it is a nontherapeutic approach. Making the client realize that the rape occurred a month ago would block communication.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
During recovery from a slipped disc, the nurse assesses the client's neuromuscular status by having him or her wear a cervical collar. The nurse also performs movements that correlate with muscular functions controlled by the cervical spine and peripheral nerve roots. A pelvic belt is a part of skin traction, which is applied to the skeletal system with devices. A molded splint is used for chronic injuries or diseases. A bivalved cast is not applied to the neck.
