Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This response acknowledges the situation, is respectful, and allows the patient to choose when to refocus the therapeutic interaction. Referring to the family as a problem is not sensi-tively worded. Offering false reassurance implies that feelings are negative. Suggesting postponing the discussion represents avoidance of dealing with the patient's feelings.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The patient is expressing feelings of sadness over the loss of the therapeutic group relation-ships that have been helpful to her. Such feelings are considered normal, just as they are con-sidered normal when the nurse-patient relationship terminates. The feelings expressed are normal, not regressive. No hidden meaning is present; the patient openly expressed genuine feelings. Further evaluation is not needed.
