Answer to Question 1

C
A nurse uses therapeutic communication techniques as part of the therapeutic nursepatient relationship. Being therapeutic does not imply that the nurse is providing therapy, a formal, structured process. Risk assessment has a different purpose related to provision of an appropriate level of care. Environmental manipulation is more related to milieu management than to therapeutic use of self.

Answer to Question 2

A
Freud's work created a milieu for thinking about mental disorders in terms of the individual human mind. This called for therapists to look objectively at the individual, a principle that is basic to nursing. The correct answer is the most global response. Freud's theories of psychosexual development are an aspect of holistic nursing practice, but not the entire focus. Free association is not a pivotal issue in nursing practice.
