Answer to Question 1

D
Regression is defined as the return to an earlier, more comfortable developmental statein this case, infancy. Displacement involves discharging feelings to an object that is less threatening. Compensation refers to covering a weakness by overemphasizing a desirable trait. Conversion refers to the unconscious expression of conflict symbolically through physical symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patients might be afraid or unable to approach nurses. Nurses must take the initiative to approach the patient, thus acknowledging the patient's worthiness and conveying acceptance. Why questions usually elicit rationalization. Leaving the patient alone does not foster trust. Decreasing isolation will not build trust in the nurse.
