Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Using judgmental comments tends to impose the nurse's standards on the client. In this case, the nurse judges the client as being lazy and the nurse's apparent hostility could end effective communication.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
A clich is a stereotypical, trite, or pat answer. Most health care clichs suggest there is no cause for concern, or they often offer false assurance. Their use tends to be interpreted as a lack of real interest in what has been said.
