The correct answer reflects the idea that the client has not remembered the event. The other options imply that the client is able to remember. Suppression protects one's self-esteem by providing a loss of memory about the event.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
All of these activities except the activity described in option B are not considered to be within the scope of practice of the psychiatricmental health nurse.
