Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Therapeutic communication differs from social conversation in its focus on building a trust relationship between nurse and client. Therapeutic communication is goal directed and is centered on the client's needs or problems, not those of the nurse. The goals of therapeutic communication are to obtain or provide information, to develop trust, to show caring, and to explore feelings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Didactic learning is a systematic presentation of information in a classroom setting. The education is focused on basic nursing skills.
