Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Mild anxiety is useful for learning; therefore, it would be appropriate to begin educating the client when his anxiety decreases to a mild level. Severe anxiety interferes with learning. Anxiety should be relieved as much as possible, but it would be unrealistic to expect that the client would become completely free of anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
According to King's theory, the outcome of the interaction within a nurseclient relationship is a transaction, defined as the transfer of value between two or more people. Adaptation is associated with Roy's model. Transpersonal caring is associated with Watson. Self-system is associated with Peplau.
