Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 3, 5
Explanation: Mindfulness is a form of self-awareness, not self-esteem, which may be described as a state of being in the present moment and accepting things for what they are without judgment. The mindful state is one in which the individual is aware in the current moment but not reacting automatically.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Listening to the patient in a supportive manner demonstrates that the nurse is refraining from judging the patient's position and is willing to listen in order to understand the patient's views. Ignoring the patient's viewpoint conveys rejection of the patient. Encouraging the patient to consider other factors disregards the patient's communication. Sharing opinions is not a therapeutic use of self.
