Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Behaviors that the nurse should implement when conducting a client interview include being aware of personal beliefs and not imposing beliefs onto the client, listening and attending to verbal and nonverbal cues, staying focused on the client, maintaining eye contact within cultural sensitivity, and allowing for silence. Keeping the client on track to prevent rambling is not a behavior that the nurse should use when conducting the client interview.

Answer to Question 2

1
Instruction can be either informal or formal. Informal instruction occurs intermittently and frequently during the course of client care. These instructions are simple, relate to the disease process, and answer client questions. Providing the expected effects of a new medication is a type of information instruction. Formal instructions are deliberate with specific goals and an evaluation process. Instructing on postoperative leg exercises, the use of an incentive spirometer, and diet and medications to manage a new health diagnosis are all examples of formal instruction.
