Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, E
Counseling interventions may include crisis intervention, assertiveness training, conflict resolution, and problem-solving skills. Prescriptive authority is not a role of the psychiatric nurse counselor.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Parataxis refers to the presence of distorted perception or judgment exhibited by the client during therapy. Parataxis is thought to be the result of earlier experiences in interpersonal relationships and occurs as a defense against anxiety. Resistance involves opposition to the counseling process, while countertransference is an emotional reaction of the therapist to the client based on the therapist's unconscious needs and conflicts.
