Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Clinical supervision will review the nurse's actions and thoughts and help the nurse arrive at a more
therapeutic approach. Attempts at cheering up a depressed client serve only to emphasize the
disparity between the client's mood and that of others. Active listening should be the technique used
by the nurse. Options A, B, and C suggest the approach is therapeutic when it is not.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The only exclusive role of the advanced practice nurse mentioned in the options is contracting to
provide mental services to individuals or groups. Options A, C, and D are functions the nurse with
basic preparation can perform.
