Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale 1: Positive self talk helps to calm and control stress. It influences self-esteem, and energy level. Affirmations are a way to improve self-talk.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: The nurse's initial priority would be to find out exactly what types of therapies and herbals the client is using. If the client is using therapies that are contraindicated with the medical regimen, then the nurse would plan to teach the dangers and notify the physician. After determining the therapies, the nurse would ask what therapies the client plans to use during the hospitalization.
