Answer to Question 1

C
In the stage of anxiety, the nurse may exhibit behaviors that hinder the discussion of sexual issues, such as talking too much, failing to listen, and being preoccupied with facts rather than feelings.

Answer to Question 2

D
Mood is the patient's self-report of his or her prevailing emotional/affective state. The remaining options are more related to cognition and thought.
