Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse-patient relationship is structured to provide a model for adaptive interpersonal relationships that can be generalized to others. Changing the patient's perceptions about his- or herself would be appropriate for cognitive therapy. Reinforcing specific behaviors would be used in behavioral therapy. Using medications would be the focus of biological therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
I'm stupid is an irrational thought. A more rational thought is, Sometimes I do stupid things. The latter thinking promotes emotional self-control. The incorrect options reflect irrational thinking.
