Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: As each self is personal and unique, being authentic is necessarily unconventional and anxiety inducing. This use of authenticity does not usually initially cause sadness, confusion, or confidence.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Mindfulness is a form of self-awareness that may be described as being in the moment. Focusing on the patient's immediate needs best demonstrates mindfulness. Describing medication effects demonstrates respect for the patient, not mindfulness. Caring for the patient with an honest and nonjudgmental attitude best demonstrates authenticity, not mindfulness. Telling the patient that time heals invalidates the patient's experience.
