Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
Displacement is an unconscious defense mechanism used to avoid conflict and anxiety by transferring emotions from one object to another object that is less anxiety-producing. The mother is upset that the health care team is not able to determine the cause of her child's illness and expresses her anger by kicking the trashcan. Suppression is the conscious decision to conceal unacceptable or painful thoughts. Sublimation is the rechanneling of unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable activities. Rationalization is the act of suggesting a different explanation for one that is painful, negative, or unacceptable.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A
It is appropriate for the nurse to ask visitors to leave a patient's room for a few minutes. Several factors affect the location appropriate for communication with patients. Privacy and confidentiality are critical during the interviewing and assessment process. Simply pulling a cubicle curtain around a patient's bed does not prevent the transmission of sound beyond the curtain. Make every effort to talk with patients in an environment with as few interruptions and distractions as possible. Ask the patient to turn off competing technology and to focus on the nurse-patient interaction as needed.
