Answer to Question 1

B
The correct option is a therapeutic reflection that helps the patient to sort out the fears that many victims of abuse have that their children will suffer without the other parent present. Commenting on a patient's history is sarcastic and nontherapeutic since it likely reflects the nurse's bias against the battered individual's ambivalence rather than viewing it as a normal part of the process that individuals who have been abused experience.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hypomania is a state just below mania at which psychomotor activity and other symptoms are less pronounced than those observed when a patient is in the manic state.
