Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
This response focuses on the client's feelings and encourages further discussion. 1. This sounds judgmental and will cut off communication. 2. Although self-disclosure can be therapeutic, this focuses on the nurse's feelings. 4. This is nontherapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

The first step in learning to be more assertive is to target behaviors to be changed. Option 1 would be passive behavior. Option 3 would be acquiescent behavior. Option 4 would be aggres-sive behavior.
