Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Situational factors are those thought to be the vectors or the transmitters of certain actions. Situational factors involve those social phenomena or outside elements (eg, peer pressure) that influence a person's or a group's behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Your energy, enthusiasm, and openness to learning and exploring issues are exactly what most clients need and are refreshing to other staff members. Unlike with physical illness, the person with a psychiatric illness also must cope with the burden of other people's attitudes toward him or her. Nurses must never promise clients that they will not reveal such information. Personal relationships with clients are never appropriate or wise.
