Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The nurse who tells a client to take your time during the interview, but constantly looks at the clock, gives a mixed or incongruent message and lacks genuineness. The nurse is not exhibiting a lack of positive regard, empathy, or concreteness in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
This statement is an example of concreteness. For the nurse, concreteness means speaking to the client in specific terms rather than in vague generalities. The statement does not reflect positive regard, empathy, or genuineness.
