Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Judgmental attitudes and preconceptions deter the development of therapeutic relationships. Nurses must examine their own beliefs about mental illness, such as believing that mental illness is as real as any physical illness, suspecting that clients are overdramatizing their symptoms or using them as a crutch to avoid work and social responsibility, viewing mental illness as a sign of a weak character, or asking, Why doesn't this person just snap out of it, put his or her problems in perspective, or focus on something else?

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Professionals have the right to ask any questions that they deem necessary. They should recognize, however, that the goal is to help clients cope with their current situation. Asking clients to relate painful details of their childhood or to recount the embarrassing circumstances leading to their hospitalization may place an unfair burden on them. Nurses must ask themselves whether their questions are designed to satisfy their own curiosity or to meet the client's current needs.
