Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
A client is usually nervous and insecure during the first few sessions and may exhibit behavior reflective of these emotions, such as rambling. Showing up late, being confrontational, and bragging are nontherapeutic ways to not participate in the session.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B
The client is responsible for attending agreed-upon sessions, interacting during the sessions, and participating in the nurseclient relationship. The nurse should also explain clearly to the client meeting times, handling of missed sessions, and the estimated length of the relationship.
