Answer to Question 1

A
When an ill person chooses to tell his story, it involves reaching out to another human being. Telling the story implies a relationship that develops only if the clinician exchanges his or her stories as well. Professionals do not routinely take seriously their own need to be known as part of a clinical relationship. Yet, unless the professional acknowledges this need, there is no reciprocal relationship, only an interaction. Offering reassurances or offering to cancel the procedure does not open up that relationship. B, C, and D all dismiss the patient's concerns.

Answer to Question 2

B
After setting the agenda, the nurse should conduct the actual interview and proceed with data collection. Setting the stage begins with introductions and takes place before an agenda is set. The termination phase includes telling the patient when the interview is nearing an end. Telling the patient medications will be given later when the nurse returns would typically take place during the termination phase of the interview.
