Answer to Question 1

B
Consistency and honesty regarding intentions are behaviors that promote patient trust. Enforcing rules is important but not necessarily related to trust building. The other options are nontherapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

B
According to Erikson, the developmental task of infancy is the development of trust. The the only statement clearly showing the lack of ability to trust others mentions being afraid to let anyone really get to know me.. The distracters suggest that the developmental task of infancy was successfully completed: rigidity rather than mistrust, and failure to resolve the crisis of initiative versus guilt.
