Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Summarization highlights the important points of a conversation or interaction. Reminding the client that the diet plan and new medications were discussed best summarizes the appointment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
This response by the nurse attempts to induce guilt on the parent to make what the nurse views as the best choice. Authoritarian responses dictate what the client should do based on the health care worker's professional opinion. An advocacy response supplies the client with information to make the decision.
