Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Such a situation can be frightening. Being in control of one's emotions permits the nurse to communicate effectively while maintaining therapeutic control of the situation and focusing on client needs rather then self-needs. The other options are of lesser importance in this particular scenario.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Congruence involves conveying the same message with both verbal and nonverbal communica-tion. The other options do not fit this description of the nurse.
