Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Empathy is identifying with the way another person feels. An empathic nurse is sensitive to the client's feelings and problems, but remains objective enough to help the client work to attain positive outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The closed-ended question or statement provides the receiver with limited choices of possible responses and might often be answered by one or two words, such as yes or no. When not used appropriately, closed-ended questions are a barrier to effective communication.
