Answer to Question 1

A
Empathy permits the nurse to see an event from the patient's perspective, understand the patient's feelings, and communicate this to the patient. The distracters focus on the nurse's feelings rather than the patient's, promote patient dependence, and belittle the patient's perspective.

Answer to Question 2

D
Statistics show that maternal psychiatric disorders are associated with increased psychiatric disorders in children. The chronicity of the parent's depression means it has been a consistent stressor. The other factors are not as risk enhancing.
