  for the nurse would be
 
  a. I'll be glad to mention it when I see the doctor later today..
  b. That's a good topic for you to take up with the doctor. You'll be meeting at 2
  PM..
  c. Why are you asking me to do this when you're perfectly capable of speaking for
  yourself?

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
After termination of a long-term relationship, the client and new nurse usually have to begin at
ground zero, the orientation phase, to build a new relationship. If termination is successfully
completed, the orientation phase sometimes progresses quickly to the working phase. Other times,
even after successful termination, the orientation phase may be prolonged.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses should encourage clients to work at their optimal level of functioning. The nurse does not act
for the client unless absolutely necessary. Acting for a client increases feelings of helplessness and
dependency. Options C and D are pseudotherapeutic attempts that do nothing to develop the client's
resources.
