Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
It is important that all members of the group agree about the group's confidentiality. Not taking sides with one of the group members is an important rule to follow as a group facilitator. By encouraging the group members to share thinking in a matter-of-fact way, the nurse reduces the emotional components and promotes the group's cohesiveness.
