Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Approaches to use when a client speaks a different language include speaking slowly and distinctly, and avoiding loud voices. Use a caring voice, keeping messages simple, and repeat messages frequently. The use of a language dictionary by the nurse is appropriate, but writing messages and asking the client to translate is not an appropriate approach. Gestures, pictures, and play-acting help the client understand.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The student's behavior is best described as self-serving. Self-serving roles advance the needs of individual members at the group's expense. Task-oriented roles focus on the work to be completed. Group-building or maintenance roles focus on the well-being of the people doing the work.
