Answer to Question 1

3
Even the most profoundly retarded or mentally troubled child will achieve something if given opportunity, instruction, and support.

Answer to Question 2

D
Defensive, challenging statements such as this one will block communication with the client because she will feel that she needs to respond defensively and answer to the nurse for her feelings. The therapeutic communication response that includes a broad opening statement is used when the nurse asks the client to tell more about her feelings. When the nurse tells the client that she should tell the mother and daughter how she feels, it describes giving advice. The nurse uses the nontherapeutic technique of belittling the client when the nurse states that the client's feelings are childish.
