Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D
A typical termination behavior is raising old problems that have already been resolved. The nurse may feel frustrated if clients in the termination phase present resolved problems as if they were new. The clients are attempting to prolong the relationship and avoid its ending. Nurses should avoid addressing these problems. Instead, they should reassure clients that they already covered those issues and learned methods to control them.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
The first part of the orientation phase, called the honeymoon phase, is usually pleasant. However, the therapeutic team typically hits rough spots before completing this phase. The client begins to test the relationship to become convinced that the nurse will really accept him or her. Typical testing behaviors include forgetting a scheduled session or being late. Clients may also express anger at something a nurse says or accuse the nurse of breaking confidentiality.
