Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2
First the nurse should acknowledge the patient's emotion and attempt to learn more. Assertive communication can be therapeutic, and it would be appropriate to tell the patient the behavior is unacceptable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
All of these are examples of passive-aggressive behavior, which is common among nurses. People who exhibit this behavior are not focused on solving problems and helping others to understand, learn, or change.
