Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Encouraging the client to choose the topic for discussion maintains a client-centered focus. This is desirable and in keeping with accepted principles for therapeutic nurse-client relationships. The other responses are components of a social, rather than a therapeutic, relationship.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Expected outcomes of maintaining objectivity would be positive. Only option 2 is a positive outcome. Options 1, 3, and 4 are negative outcomes.
