Answer to Question 1

D
Termination is a time for evaluating progress and bidding farewell. Patients who view their nurses in a positive fashion are often reluctant to terminate and seek to continue the relationship on a social basis after discharge. Helping the patient clarify the therapeutic aspect of the nursing role is appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

C
In 1963, the Community Mental Health Centers Act was passed. The act was part of President John F. Kennedy's New Frontier. The act supported the notion of the least restrictive environment for the treatment of mental illness. This was the beginning of deinstitutionalizat ion.
