Answer to Question 1

B
Wearing small earrings is the most professional. The patient's acceptance of a nurse as a professional often depends on the manner in which he or she presents a professional and caring image. Verbal and nonverbal behaviors influence the helping relationship. Professional appearance, demeanor, and behavior are important in establishing trustworthiness and competence. Calling a patient honey, dear, grandpa, or sweetheart rather than by a personal name is inappropriate. Being task oriented, or making a technical procedure (e.g., administration of a medicine) your priority, is another way of not being emotionally available. Do not avoid patients whose behavior is troublesome.

Answer to Question 2

D
External variables for health beliefs and practices include family practices, socioeconomic factors, and cultural background. Emotional factors, intellectual background, and developmental stage represent internal variables.
