Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Resistance is seen as client behavior that permits change of focus from the client and his or her problems to a less emotionally charged topic. 1. Transference refers to positive or negative feel-ings the client has for a significant figure that are attributed to the nurse. 3. Countertransference refers to feelings the nurse has for a significant figure that are attributed to the client. 4. A thera-peutic alliance is another name for the therapeutic nurse-client relationship.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Healthy boundaries are characterized by behaviors that are adaptive. Only option 4 is an example of an adaptive behavior.
