Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because the patient is to receive general anesthesia and has orders to remain without food or liquids (NPO), the nurse should notify the physician immediately. The introduction of food into the stomach could result in aspiration of stomach contents during treatment. An expres-sion of hopelessness related to depression would be reason to continue with the treatment. The other options offer no contraindication to treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If trust has been established, the patient may feel safe enough to dance with the nurse. If trust has not yet been established, the patient will see the nurse's invitation as demonstrating respect and reaching out to him. Either way, the action will encourage participation. The nurse should not make another patient responsible for this patient's participation. The re-maining options do not encourage participation.
