Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The nurse's statement, Things will look better tomorrow after a good night's sleep, is an example of the nontherapeutic communication technique of giving reassurance. Giving reassurance indicates to the client that there is no cause for anxiety, thereby devaluing the client's feelings.

Answer to Question 2
