Answer to Question 1

A
The correct option uses a therapeutic nursing communication to facilitate the victim of abuse to view the spouse's behavior in a more rational manner. Physical abuse is not excusable under any circumstances.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most prominent behavior associated with noncompliance is refusal to admit the seriousness of the illness. This denial interferes with acceptance of treatment.
