A client tells a significant other, The nurse seems like a real person. She's sincere. I can tell be-cause her words and her facial expression go together to give me the same message. The client is describing the quality of:
 
  1. Empathy
  2. Clarity
  3. Assertiveness
  4. Genuineness

Question 2

Which of the following is a suitable outcome criteria for a client with a nursing diagnosis of risk for loneliness related to social isolation? The client will:
 
  1. No longer experience loneliness
  2. Sit in a group
  3. Maintain solitude
  4. Interact with a peer

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Genuineness is demonstrated by congruence between verbal and nonverbal behavior, interest in the client, and sincere responses. The question scenario does not address any other communicator traits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Outcome criteria for a risk diagnosis are developed from the risk factorsin this case, social iso-lation. Outcome criteria must be measurable. Option 4 is an appropriate outcome criterion. 1. This is not measurable. 2. The client may still be lonely while sitting in a group. 3. This action pro-motes social isolation.
