Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback: Moving away gives the client more personal space; staying with the client indicates acceptance and genuine interest. It is not necessary for the nurse to talk to the client the entire time; rather, silence can convey that clients are worthwhile even if they are not interacting.
