Answer to Question 1

B
Immediacy involves focusing on the current interaction of the nurse and the patient in the relationship. In this situation the client is focusing on past issues of trust and the nurse correctly identifies a reasonable reaction to the client's need to trust the nurse. The remaining options do not deal with the immediate need for trust on the part of the client.

Answer to Question 2

D
Impulsivity is manifested by an inability to plan, unreliability, unpredictability, failure to learn from experience, and poor judgment. An impulsive person acts to immediately gratify needs without considering the consequences of the action.
