Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Making eye contact is a means of conveying interest to patients of the majority culture. Encouraging and supporting communication is also a means of conveying interest. Calling the patient on days off is unnecessary. Keeping conversation on a social level is not therapeutic. Directing the patient to make a list of all problems might not be necessary or appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Commitment involves performing at an optimal level to meet the patient's needs. Delivering nursing care skillfully is the only appropriate behavior listed.
