Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse is intervening to assist the client to clarify his thoughts and feelings, which is an activity
related to counseling. Option A: Advocacy is taking the client's side. Option B: Health teaching
involves imparting information to the client. Option D: Milieu therapy involves using the
environment to influence behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, A, C, E
Rationale: This sequence supports client self-control to resist the command, protects other clients
from potential harm, secures help from another while allowing the nurse to remain with the client to
provide structure and set limits, removes client to a safer, less confusing environment, explains
therapeutic use of medication, and limits the possibility of the client perceiving the medication as
punishment.
