Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Statements such as, These things happen for a reason. You can always get pregnant again are examples of providing false reassurance to the client. The nurse's statement is not an example of changing the subject, cross-examination, or unwanted advice.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The nurse's statement focuses on the social stigma of smoking rather than the physiological benefits of smoking cessation. This is an example of unwanted advice. The nurse is not providing false assurance, using cross-examination, or technical terms.
