Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse is accountable for the relationship. Objectivity is threatened by strong positive or negative
feelings toward a client. Supervision is necessary to work through negative feelings. Option A: This
is not a first-line solution. Option B: Suppression rarely results in a satisfactory outcome for client or
nurse. Option C: Open expression of anger will confuse a client who has been unaware of the
nurse's feelings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A community mental health nurse must be able to work with schools, corrections facilities, shelters,
health care providers, and employers. The mental health nurse working in an inpatient unit needs
only to be able to work within the single setting. Option A: This manner would be needed by nurses
in both settings. Option B: Problem-solving skills are needed by all nurses. Option D: Nurses in both
settings must have knowledge of psychopharmacology.
