Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Termination is a time for bringing closure. A helpful technique is having the client identify changes he or she has made toward growth and sharing nurse perceptions of the client's progress. Options 1, 2, and 4 do not foster the goal of bringing closure. Instead, they open new topics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
During the preorientation phase the nurse engages in autodiagnosis regarding the client and at-tempts to uncover biases or stereotypes that could influence the contact in a nontherapeutic way. Options 1 and 2 take place in other phases of the nurse-client relationship. Option 4 is not an ex-pected outcome.
