Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Asking about what is bothering the client is goal directed. Its purpose is to promote client well-being. I am the nurse who will be doing your treatments today is a statement of fact, and it ignores the client's emotional needs. Will you listen to me so I can help you get better? is not goal directed and does not involve mutuality. This is what is going to happen during surgery is simply one way. It does not engage the client in a therapeutic manner.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Feedback (from the receiver or the environment) allows the system to correct or maintain its original information. Feedback loops (from the receiver, or the environment) validate the information, or allow the human system to correct its original information. General Systems Theory, initially described by Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1968), focuses on process and interconnected relationships comprising the whole.
