Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The nurse's nonverbal behavior conveys that she is disinterested in talking with the client. This is a nontherapeutic interaction, because the client will perceive that the nurse is not interested and may also feel uncared about and unimportant.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The correct answer reflects validation of the client's feelings and further exploration. Asking about the client's children seeks more information, while discussing the death of the client's husband reveals personal information and a nonhelpful personal reflection by the nurse. Asking multiple questions may be confusing.
