Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Rationale: Actions 1 and 4 preserve the client's right to be protected against the possible impulse to
harm self or others. Action 2 preserved the client's right to legal counsel. Action 3 preserved the
client's rights to send and receive mail and be present during package inspection. Action 5 preserved
the client's right to refuse treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In option C the nurse is reflecting by putting into words what the client is hinting. By making
communication more explicit, issues are easier to identify and resolve. Options A, B, and D are
nontherapeutic techniques. Option A is disapproving. Option B minimizes feelings. Option D is
falsely reassuring.
