Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Sincerity, honesty, respect, and caring are hallmarks of being an effective psychiatric-mental health care provider. If the student nurse is sincere and honest, shows respect for the client, and displays a caring attitude, the staff and clients will give the student their trust.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Discrimination occurs when there is treatment or consideration that is based on class or category rather than on individual merit. In this case, the man has been treated differently (asked to leave) based on his race, because there is no other defining characteristic or behavior that he is exhibiting that would lead to his expulsion from the store.
