Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Moderately cognitively impaired IQs range from 35 to 55. The lower limit of normal intelligence is approximately 70 to 75. Individuals with IQs of 50 to 70 are considered mildly cognitively impaired but educable. An IQ of 20 to 40 results in severe cognitive impairment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
By saying, We feel so sorry that we couldn't save your child, the nurse is expressing personal feeling of loss or frustration, which is therapeutic. Stating, You're feeling all the pain of losing a child, focuses on a feeling, which is therapeutic. The statement, Your child isn't suffering anymore, is a judgmental statement, which is nontherapeutic. I know how you feel and You're still young enough to have another baby are statements that give artificial consolation and are nontherapeutic.
