Answer to Question 1

B
Reassurance that the signs and symptoms will improve with medication is helpful. The nurse may or may not understand how the patient feels, and this dismisses the husband's concern. The behavior may or may not continue, and asking how the husband is coping or if he has shared his feelings are examples of nontherapeutic communication.

Answer to Question 2

B
A spray-on tan is the safest method to acquire a tan. Cosmetics with added sunscreen are an easy way to remember to protect the face from the sun. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can penetrate clouds and loose clothing.
