Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A nurse's negative preconceived ideas about a client and negative feelings toward the client usually
result in frustration and mutual withdrawal. Supervision would cause the nurse to explore the origins
of the feelings and make changes as necessary. The other options suggest positive outcomes, which
rarely occur in the face of negative feelings on the part of the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The client has the right to refuse medication unless a court order to medicate has been obtained. The
client's reason for refusing should be ascertained, and the refusal should be reported to a unit nurse.
Sometimes refusals are based on unpleasant side effects that can be ameliorated. Options A and B:
Threats and manipulation are inappropriate. Option C: Medication refusal should be reported to
permit appropriate intervention.
