Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An open-ended question permits the patient to answer in whatever way is most meaningful. It is sometimes called a broad opening. The remaining options are incorrect, because focused questions permit only specific and narrow answers; probing suggests that the nurse is probing or digging for information; and paraphrasing allows the nurse to say in his or her own words the message conveyed by the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
False reassurance involves telling the patient that there is nothing to worry about when that may or may not be true. Probing means pushing for more information. Disagreeing conveys disapproval of the patient's verbalization. Active listening is a therapeutic strategy.
