Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Turning the bedspread down from the top protects the blanket, keeps the rougher blanket away from the client's skin, and makes it easier for the client to handle the bedclothes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Therapeutic communications occur when the nurse encourages the client to express his or her thoughts. In this way, the nurse can help the client overcome inhibitions and resolve feelings. Keeping the time frame for the interview to a pre-established length, talking about the experiences of other clients, and asking only closed-ended questions of the client hamper effective communication between the nurse and the client. These behaviors stop the communication process.
