Answer to Question 1

A
A nurse can show empathy when dealing with a client who is grieving by taking time to listen to stories and reminiscences. In fact, reminiscence therapy is one of the possible nonpharmacological treatments for mild depression among the elderly. Additional treatment modalities include interpersonal and cognitive therapies.

Answer to Question 2

C
When a client becomes disruptive during a group meeting, the best nursing intervention is to escort the client to a quiet private room. The client may need to be in an environment with less stimulation. The nurse would stay with the client to discuss the client's feelings at the time. This would help facilitate the nurse-client relationship and indicate nursing presence.
