Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Paraphrasing what the client said is a therapeutic response that indicates to the client that the nurse wants to hear more about the situation. Asking the client what made her sick or asking if she vomited requires a one-word answer with no option for discussion, and assumes that the client meant nauseated when she used the term sick. Telling the client that the nurse is sorry also stops the conversation, and does not invite the client to add more information.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: The reservoir is the place where the microorganism naturally lives.
