Answer to Question 1

B
The LEARN model includes listening to the patient, explaining your own perspectives, ac-knowledging the similarities and differences in both viewpoints, recommending a plan of action, and negotiating a final plan. If the patient and nurse have come to an agreement on a plan of ac-tion, this model has been successful.

Answer to Question 2

D
A score of 5 or more indicates possible depression that should be assessed further. A score of 1 indicates no or little depression risk. The nurse should document the findings. No other action is needed.
