Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Empathy has components of both perception and interaction; it is more than a quality or characteristic, it is also a communication tool that validates the experience of the patient. Empathy does not validate the nurse's expertise or perceptions, nor does it validate the nurse-patient relationship.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: When evaluating the patient's response to an intervention, the nurse validates to ensure the patient's perception of the response is communicated. Affect refers to a patient's emotional tone, not a method of validation. The patient's need for further intervention will be determined when the response is evaluated, not during validation of the patient's response. Clarification is used when a message is not clear.
