Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Among the components of a process recording is an explicit evaluation of the interaction between the student and the client. A process recording does not include a plan of care, the development of nursing diagnoses, or teaching about communication from the student to the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Reciprocating a client's hostile or sarcastic tone is an example of countertransference, in which the nurse responds unrealistically to the client's behavior or interaction.
