Answer to Question 1

C
A less stimulating environment would be therapeutic for the patient but seclusion would not be the initial intervention. Verbal interventions would not be successful in providing the necessary structure; another approach to limit setting should be tried. When sufficient staff members are assembled, one nurse should set limits by saying, We are here to walk to your room with you.. The presence of other staff members ensures that the limit setting can be safely implemented. The patient's active state would not be distracted by the television.

Answer to Question 2

B
The most therapeutic communication is the one that facilitates the patient's expression of feelings.
