Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Voicing doubt is an effective way to promote the client to rethink a faulty belief. The dialogue does not likely require a general lead and the conversation has already opened. Information alone is not likely to counter the client's statement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Moralizing can block patient disclosure because it imposes the nurse's views onto the client's situation, often causing the client to question if his or her feelings are unwarranted or inappropriate.
