Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse's statement, Things will look better tomorrow after a good night's sleep, is an example of the nontherapeutic technique of giving false reassurance. Giving false reassurance indicates to the client that there is no cause for anxiety, thereby devaluing the client's feelings.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse's statement, Yes, I see. Go on, is an example of the therapeutic communication technique of a general lead. Offering a general lead encourages the client to continue sharing information.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
