Answer to Question 1

B
Strong negative feelings get in the way of being able to be objective and therapeutic. Empathy, a
positive feeling, would not hamper objectivity and the ability to be therapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

A
This short-term outcome is the only one relating to the client's physical condition. It is expected that
vital signs will return to normal when the CNS depression is alleviated.
