Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: It is important to begin the interview in a manner that allows the nurse to gain the client's trust, develops rapport, and establishes a therapeutic relationship. Asking closed-ended questions will get one-word answers, and does nothing to foster rapport. Entering the information into the computer is a distraction to the client, and reassuring the client that she will be fine damages trust, because there is no way for the nurse to know this is true.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Medicare is a national and state health insurance program.
