Answer to Question 1

A
Being able to lose a game with good sportsmanship is a good indication of social adaptation. Poor concentration and limited attention span can cause the child to interrupt the game or add others to increase distraction. Poor ability to delay gratification would engender demanding behavior and the intolerance of loss.

Answer to Question 2

A
Self-disclosure by the therapist is appropriate when it is directed toward the goal of sharing human experiences. The nurse should not use self-disclosure to focus on self or when the nurse is uncomfortable with periods of silence.
