Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
When implementing simple relaxation techniques, it would be most important to ensure that the environment is quiet and not a distraction, with the lights dimmed and a comfortable temperature. Have the client assume a relaxed position, instructing him or her to relax and let the sensations happen. Using a low tone of voice with a slow, rhythmic pacing of the words, the nurse would instruct the client to take an initial slow, deep breath.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Spirituality refers to a unifying force of a person that is unique to each individual. Thus, asking a client about what gives meaning to his or her life addresses this area. Asking about self-harm provides information about suicidal ideation. Asking about the importance of family provides information about the social system of the family. Asking about how the client defines good and evil reflects the client's cultural beliefs.
