Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Many nurses consider it unsatisfying to work with a client with somatoform disorder. The client's
resistance makes for slow progress. Medical-surgical nurses often feel as though they are wasting
their time on a client with no organic basis for his or her symptoms. The other options are less likely
reactions to these difficult clients.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rescue feelings stem from the nurse's wish to take over for or control a client who is recognized by
the nurse as feeling out of control. When a nurse experiences rescue feelings, the nurse tries to
provide simple answers rather than use a problem-solving approach and focus on the client's feelings
of shame and low self-esteem. The other options reflect appropriate interventions that do not signal a
particular need for supervision.
