Answer to Question 1

2,3
Rationale: Overdisclosure. Overdisclosure refers to an excessive amount of self-disclosure by the nurse that can overwhelm and engulf the client. Overdisclosure can impede therapeutic progress, especially with clients who have poor ego boundaries, but it is not a form of client resistance.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: It is a priority for the nurse to develop an awareness of his or her own perceptions, prejudices, and stereotypes regarding the particular cultural groups of interest. Reading about culture and remaining nonjudgmental are strategies that can be incorporated after engaging in a self-awareness inventory. Although experience working with diverse clients will help, it will be more meaningful after engaging in a self-awareness inventory.
