Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale:

1. Introducing oneself likely will assist in beginning a therapeutic relationship with the child and family.
2. Avoiding the use of medical jargon will enable the child and family to better understand what is occurring, and is therapeutic.
3. Socializing with clients and family outside of the hospital increases the risk of the nurse's becoming emotionally overinvolved, blurring her professional boundaries, and decreasing her ability to be therapeutic to the client and family.
4. Providing privacy by closing the door during discussions is a therapeutic communication intervention.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Chronic pain is not sudden and short in duration.
2. Chronic pain is persistent, lasting longer than six months; it is often associated with a prolonged disease process, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or cancer.
3. Chronic pain is not associated with a single event.
4. Chronic pain is not associated with pain and discomfort.
