Answer to Question 1

D
Therapeutic communication provides the basis for effective use of each stage of the nursing process, as explained by the authors. The other options are skills basic to effective use of the nursing process.

Answer to Question 2

C
Loder has hypothesized that early developmental experiences set the stage for later spiritual dynamics. Inadequate nurturing may result in lack of establishment of trust. Later, spiritual issues of abandonment and shame might surface. None of the other options have been advanced as explanations for feelings of abandonment by God.
