Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: The patient's stated plan does not include bracing for negative consequences. Although it may be part of his plan, this statement does not indicate continuous evaluation. The patient is making a realistic appraisal of his needs and resources. He has already made a realistic appraisal of events.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The nurse's presence and willingness to listen to patient stories can give meaning to the experience of suffering and assist the patient through suffering. While active listening is a therapeutic communication technique, it is not considered therapy. The nurse's use of active listening does not assist patients on focusing on the present issue or to recall events.
