Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
This response displays empathy and understanding. Option 1 offers false hope and does not deal directly with the client's feelings. Option 2 offers false hope and uses meaningless platitudes. Option 4 changes the focus from the client to the nurse and is nontherapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Communication will be facilitated knowing that a client with Asperger's disorder has no clinical-ly significant delays in language or cognitive function. Options 1, 3, and 4 are characteristics of both disorders.
