Answer to Question 1

C
Family members, themselves in a time of crisis, are particularly sensitive to a nurse's words and actions, making it essential that the nurse convey understanding and acceptance. Although the critical care nurse rarely has the time or opportunity to perform a full family assessment or give ongoing support to all family members, he or she can observe the quality of the patient-family interaction and formulate interventions that will aid the family in supporting the patient.

Answer to Question 2

D
Trust manifests itself in critical care patients' belief that the people they depend on will get them through the illness and will be able to manage any untoward event that might occur. A patient needs to trust the nurse's competence in the physical and technical aspects of care and rely on what the nurse says.
