Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
If trust has been established, the client may feel safe enough to dance with the nurse. If trust has not yet been established the client will see the nurse's invitation as demonstrating respect and reaching out to him. Either way, the action will encourage participation. Options 2 and 3 do not encourage participation. 4. The nurse should not make another client responsible for this client's participation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Finger paints and Play-doh are useful for preschool children. Options 1 and 2 would be age-appropriate media. Option 3 would promote free expression.
