Answer to Question 1

A
The answer that invites the patient to share feelings and perceptions (thus facilitating emotions) is the most therapeutic communication. The correct response uses exploring, a therapeutic communication technique. The remaining options are either premature or make unsubstantiated assumptions.

Answer to Question 2

B
Encouraging the patient to expand self-awareness is part of nursing interventions at level 1 . Creating a climate of acceptance facilitates this process. The remaining options are directed toward self-exploration, realistic planning, and self-evaluation, not self-awareness.
