Answer to Question 1

D
When a patient idealizes the nurse, the nurse tends to lose objectivity and move toward being overinvolved, overprotective, and indulgent.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse's statement can be construed as critical. The parent ego state consists of all the nurturing, critical, and prejudicial attitudes, behaviors, and experiences learned from other people, especially from parents and teachers.
