Answer to Question 1

A
When the nurse helps the student to see a broader range of possibilities, the nurse is using the cognitive technique of generating alternatives.

Answer to Question 2

B
Overgeneralization occurs when sweeping conclusions are made on the basis of one incident. Because the student failed a prerequisite nursing course, the student overgeneralizes that the goal of being an RN will never be attained.
