Answer to Question 1

A, C, D

Answer to Question 2

B
Confrontation is an expression by the nurse of discrepancies in the patient's behavior such as being irresponsible and untrustworthy while wanting to be treated like an adult. The remaining options are not confrontational since they are not identifying such discrepancies.
