Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: The active component of genuineness requires an individual to be honest with another; an example of this is the nurse acknowledging feelings of anxiety to a client. Sympathy is a feeling of care or concern toward the patient, not an acknowledgment of how one feels. Empathy is the ability to feel the experience of others, not an acknowledgment of feelings. Superficiality indicates concern for one's self only and is not apparent in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Mindful listening is best accomplished when removing environmental distractions, such as turning off the television before interviewing a patient. Offering patients a choice to drink when taking medication and encouraging the family to step outside before assessing the patient are examples of conveying respect, not mindful listening. Telling the patient to get off the phone is not a therapeutic intervention.
