Answer to Question 1

D
For smokers willing to quit, relapse remains the greatest problem. Withdrawal is not the only factor in relapse; many people relapse because they find themselves in situations that they habitually associate with smoking: for example, drinking alcohol or having a morning cup of coffee.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patients who undergo ECT treatment often worry about the possibility of electrocution. However, it is best if the patient identifies fears by the facilitative communication technique of the nurse. The most therapeutic technique is that which provides information using a matter-of-fact communication style and a sense of authority that is reassuring but not overbearing. Trivialization is disrespectful, and using the word electrocution can often create anxiety rather than alleviate it. It is important for the patient to identify concerns rather than for the nurse to identify them; talking to a supportive nurse will alleviate a patient's anxiety.
