Answer to Question 1

A
Countertransference is a therapeutic impasse created by the nurse's specific emotional response to the qualities of the patient. This response is inappropriate to the content and context of the therapeutic relationship or inappropriate in the degree of intensity of emotion. The remaining options do not relate to inappropriate emotional responses especially by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

B
