Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: When attempting to reinforce client strengths, it is important to help the client set attainable goals, even if the goals are small at first.
Rationale 2: If the goal is too long range, the client may lose sight of the goal before it is attained.
Rationale 3: Devising goals should be a team effort between the client, significant others, and the nurse.
Rationale 4: The goal should not be so effortless that it is not important to the client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Documenting that the client is not cooperative labels the client for all other health care provider interactions.
Rationale 2: The nurse should always consider that there could be a cultural implication to behavior.
Rationale 3: Assuming that the client has something to hide labels the client for all other health care provider interactions.
Rationale 4: Asking a second nurse to sit in on the next interview may make the client feel more intimidated.
