Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Peplau believed that the nurse serves as a therapist, counselor, socializing agent, manager, technical nurse, mother surrogate, and teacher. In this situation, the nurse is functioning in the teacher mode.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The interaction-oriented approach is used by nurses who rely on interactions and include themselves in the sphere of their actions. They counsel, guide, and teach clients, helping them to find meaning in their situations. The needs-oriented approach encompasses the nurse performing physiologic and psychosocial activities for the client. The outcome-oriented approach focuses on maintaining and promoting energy and harmony with the environment. The eclectic approach is an individualized style that incorporates the client's own resources as a unique person with the most suitable theoretical model.
