Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

A possible cause of omission of pertinent data is failing to follow up on cues during data collection. The nurse should ask about what the client uses to self-treat her constipation in order to identify further important information. It is not correct to ignore the statement, ask why questions, or make assumptions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

Avoid questions that impede communication during the interview, including those that can be answered by yes or no, why or how questions, and giving advice.
