Answer to Question 1

D
This intervention provides support for the dominant patient but opens the floor for contributions from others. Doing nothing or encouraging the patient to continue would be ineffective strategies, because they fail to recognize the needs of others in the group.

Answer to Question 2

D
The most likely answer is that the patient's behavior is culturally influenced. Hispanic women frequently touch women they consider to be their friends. Although the other options are possible, they are much less likely.
