Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Focusing, or asking focused questions, prompts the patient to provide more definitive information. Asking a patient to rate his or her pain on a scale of 1 to 10 exemplifies this definition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Reflecting involves putting into words the information received from the patient at an affective communication level. The example given does not relate to definitions of the other communication strategies.
