Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Thinking about a more constructive approach to dealing with anger indicates a readiness to make a
behavioral change. Behavioral change is associated with the working phase of the relationship.
Option A: Denial is often seen in the orientation phase. Option B: This reaction is common early in
the relationship before rapport and trust are firmly established. Option C is more typically a reaction
during the orientation phase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Clients often unconsciously use testing behaviors to determine whether the nurse is able to set limits
or will abandon them if they behave in an unlikable way.
