Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In option D the nurse is addressing the client's hyperventilation and other somatic symptoms rather
than her feelings about the accident. All other options address the client's feelings about the
accident.

Answer to Question 2

A
Option A is a true statement and accounts for chamomile's calming effects. Option B is true but does
not address the ongoing debates over the therapeutic action of St. John's wort. Options C and D are
not true statements.
