Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse's statement, Things will look better tomorrow after a good night's sleep, is an example of the nontherapeutic technique of giving false reassurance. Giving false reassurance indicates to the client that there is no cause for anxiety, thereby devaluing the client's feelings.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse's statement, Yes, I see. Go on, is an example of the therapeutic communication technique of a general lead. Offering a general lead encourages the client to continue sharing information.
