Answer to Question 1

1,2
Rationale: Making sure the environment is nonjudgmental and nonthreatening is important to make the client feel more comfortable sharing private information. Strict privacy should be maintained, and the client might prefer to exclude other family members or friends from the conversation to allow full disclosure. The nurse should not act like a friend, but should maintain professionalism. Medical terminology might not be understood by the client, and should be avoided. The amount of eye contact to use in a given situation depends on the culture and comfort level of the client.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: State nurse practice acts are established by the state legislature with input from the appointed board of nursing. The act is a legal document, and alterations require the state government to vote on proposed changes.
