  1. Discussion of sensitive issues should only occur in the working phase.
  2. Formulation of nursing diagnoses should be avoided until all essential data is obtained.
  3. Information that is avoided or omitted is often more crucial than what is shared.
  4. Avoidance of a topic is a sign of resistance that will disappear when initial anxiety is decreased.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Observation is essential to clinical practice, particularly in one-to-one relationships. Non-verbal behavior and missing information can indicate an area that requires further exploration. Sensitive issues can be discussed in all phases of the therapeutic relationship, particularly if it is valuable in providing direction for nursing care. A preliminary nursing diagnosis should be formulated based on dominant themes or central issues that may be revised as client behaviors unfold during the course of the one-to-one relationship. Resistive behaviors do not commonly disappear on their own and must be addressed openly for the therapeutic nurseclient relationship to progress.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Clients with BDD may use cosmetic surgery to cure the imagined defect. Cosmetic surgery does not treat associated depression, deal with multiple physical complaints, or suppress intrusive thoughts.
