Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When assisting a client with ambulation using an assistive device such as parallel bars or a walking belt, the nurse should observe the client for pallor, weakness, or dizziness. Strength, gait, and muscle tone would be closely observed by the nurse but these variables do not have such a direct bearing on safety.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Social communication is superficial; it includes common courtesies and exchanges about general topics. Therapeutic verbal communication involves the use of words and gestures to accomplish a particular objective. This does not mean, however, that therapeutic communication depends heavily on technical vocabulary or is focused solely on problems. Therapeutic communication is focused on the needs of the client, not the nurse.
