Answer to Question 1

A
This response uses reflection to show concern and open communication. The other choices are blocks to communication.

Answer to Question 2

B
Allowing the client to express her feelings is the most appropriate nursing response. The nurse should never provide the client with false reassurance or disregard her feelings.
This answer is stating that the client's feelings are not important.
This is belittling the client's concerns and does not allow her to express her concerns.
This answer is close-ended and belittling to the client's feelings.
