Answer to Question 1

ANS:
A, B, C, E
Rationale: During the assessment interview the nurse should listen attentively and accept the client's
statements in a nonjudgmental way. Because the client is suspicious and fearful, reassuring him of
his safety may be helpful, although he is unlikely to trust the nurse so early in the relationship.
Option D suggests to the client that the nurse is not willing to try to understand his views. Option F
may be perceived as a threat.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Research-derived interventions are evidence-based interventions. The nurse can rely on their proven
effectiveness. Option A: Interventions suggested by unit nurses may be largely unproven and
subjectively derived. Option B: Client-reported preferences can be skewed. Option D: This criteria is
quite subjective because what one nurse sees as logical might be perceived differently by another.
