Answer to Question 1

B
It is generally recognized that nurses have an obligation to maintain confidentiality. In any situation, where a client can show that a breach of confidentiality has caused the client damage (e.g., damage to his or her reputation), the client may sue the nurse in civil court for inappropriate disclosure of professional, confidential information.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing interventions would most likely be based on behavioral therapy. This form of therapy is based on providing consequences for behavior. Loss of privileges may be a negative consequence and increased privileges and positive feedback are used as positive consequences of behavior.
