Answer to Question 1

4
Caregiver did not acknowledge client's message and demonstrated disapproval.

Answer to Question 2

A
Developing mutual trust is one of the principles of mental health care. The nurse most likely would be able to carry out plans on a daily basis rather than trying to make plans for the next day. Making plans with the client is a very effective way to develop trust, as long as the plans can be carried out. Leading a group discussion and giving written information are helpful to clients but are not going to promote development of trust in the same way that making plans and carrying them out would do.
