Answer to Question 1

C
It is important to document both baseline content and process. In addition to the verbal content of the interview, the patient's nonverbal messages and the nurse's reactions to the patient give important clues to the patient's state.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nicotine replacement is an example of secondary prevention. Secondary prevention encourages smokers to quit smoking through involvement in cessation programs. Surgical lung resection for lung cancer is tertiary prevention (i.e., restoration). Primary prevention includes antismoking advertisement campaigns and banning smoking in public places.
