Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The defining characteristic of a professional relationship is that it is not intended to address the personal needs of the nurse. A formal one-to-one relationship requires more planning, consistency and time than an informal therapeutic relationship, but this is not a feature distinguishing professional relationships from social relationships. Professional relationships can be spontaneous or planned; however, this is not unique to professional relationships, particularly in organizational or educational settings. Roles in social relationships may be governed by broad social norms such as the roles of lover or friend.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Do not interrupt the ritual because the client may have to start from the beginning. For a new client, teaching ritual interruption skills and teaching about anti-anxiety foods would not be the priority.
