Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Respect is correct because the nurse is validating the client's feelings. It is not genuineness because the nurse is giving information versus making a personal statement. Rather than being confrontational by pointing out discrepancies between thoughts, feelings, and actions that inhibit the client's self-understanding or exploration of specific areas, the nurse is being supportive by respecting the client's feelings. Concreteness involves assisting the client by giving specific examples rather than speaking in generalities.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, E

The transformational leader empowers the group, facilitating independence, individual growth, and change. The leader enlists others to participate in attaining the goal and share in the organization's vision but does not expect unreflective obedience.
