Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback: The nurse seeks clarification and understanding of the client's perception and meaning. Response A is inappropriate because it may make perfect sense to the client. Response B shows that the nurse is not interested in what the client has to say. Response D feeds into the notion that the CIA is stalking the client.
