  Which is the most appropriate nursing response?
  A) Go ahead and grab something light, such as crackers.
  B) You'll need to ask the doctor. He'll be in shortly.
  C) You may eat something, but avoid anything containing tyramine, such as aged meats and cheeses.
  D) I realize you are very hungry, but you cannot eat before treatment because it can lead to complications.

Question 2

A female client is currently living in a shelter with her four children after escaping her abusive husband. Early in her stay, the client attends but does not participate in the support group held for the residents.
 
  One week later, the client speaks up and appropriately confronts another peer who has stolen her hairbrush. Which response to the client's actions is the best example of nursing feedback?
  A) You can't trust a thief. As long as we are all living under one roof, we need to respect one another.
  B) This is the first time I have heard you speak up in group. You handled this situation in an assertive and effective manner.
  C) You need to use your assertiveness skills in your relationship with your husband.
  D) Remember three weeks ago when you failed to confront the other roommate? Well, I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with your improvement.
