Answer to Question 1

C
Nurses have a responsibility to facilitate optimal function. Attention to the milieu can increase psychologic functioning and prevent deterioration resulting from withdrawal and disuse of skills. Unconditional acceptance of the individual is appropriate, but not all behavior must be accepted. It would be impractical to provide CBT for all patients. Reminiscence is a positive activity that should be encouraged and integrated into a plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acute stress reactions are marked by dissociative symptoms such as numbing of emotional responsiveness, feelings of detachment, and decreased awareness of surroundings. The other options list behaviors that are atypical of acute stress reactions.
