Answer to Question 1

C
The goals of therapeutic communication are to obtain or provide information, to develop trust, to show caring, and to explore feelings. For example, one important way to obtain information is to take a client's health history upon the client's admission to a health care facility. A nurse provides information to a client when explaining the preparation required for a scheduled diagnostic procedure.

Answer to Question 2

A
Barrier precautions refer to the use of personal protective equipment (e.g., gowns, gloves) to minimize risk of exposure to blood and body fluids by creating a barrier between the person and the microorganism and preventing transmission of the microorganism. Nonsterile gloves should be applied before touching mucous membranes, nonintact skin, blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, and contaminated items.
