Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Reflecting and giving information are therapeutic techniques. Why questions often imply criticism or seem intrusive or judgmental. They are difficult to answer. Changing the subject is a barrier to communication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Clarification ensures that both the nurse and patient share mutual understanding of the communication. The distracters encourage comparison rather than clarification and present implied questions that suggest the nurse was not listening.
