Answer to Question 1

4
Immediate concerns focus on how the illness affects the activities of daily living and limits their abilities.

Answer to Question 2

D
The technique of clarification is therapeutic and helps the nurse examine meaning. The distracters focus on patient feelings but fail to clarify the meaning of the patient's comment.
