Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Option C permits clarification to ensure that both the nurse and client share mutual understanding of
the communication. Option A is a closed-ended question. Options B and D are implied questions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D

or having an uncooperative personality trait. More often resistance is related to anxiety, fear,
suspicion, cognitive impairment, or lack of knowledge.
