Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Providing a private place to talk, and making oneself available with no distractions are ways of demonstrating caring. In addition, showing interest in the whole person, not only the diagnosis, is a therapeutic action. Addressing the client in this way without being instructed by the client does not convey respect and caring. Watching for nonverbal messages, not ignoring them, is also therapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

3
The technical role for mental health nurses includes administering, monitoring, and evaluat-ing medications; managing medical problems; assessing the difference between physical and psychiatric conditions; maintaining safety; and controlling environmental factors.
