Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Only when the nurse understands personal family issues and can separate them from client issues, can the nurse be truly helpful to the client. The other options are not relevant to the situation de-scribed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Offering self involves the nurse making himself or herself available to the client and demonstrat-ing interest and concern. This is the only therapeutic technique listed. The other options are ex-amples of strategies that hinder therapeutic communication.
