Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: A seating arrangement in which the client and nurse are seated in chairs, a few feet apart, at right angles to each other and with no table between, creates a less formal atmosphere, with the nurse and client feeling on equal terms. This would allow for more comfort and relaxation during the interview phase.
Rationale 2: Sitting behind a desk creates a formal arrangement that suggests a business meeting between a superior and subordinate.
Rationale 3: Standing and looking down at a client who is in a chair risks intimidating the client.
Rationale 4: Standing and taking notes infers that the nurse is not really interested in the client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Simply noting the concern, without dealing with it, can leave the impression that the nurse does not care about the client's concerns or dismisses them as unimportant.
Rationale 2: The nurse should use a combination of directive and nondirective approaches during the interview to determine areas of concern for the client.
Rationale 3: Passing the questions off for the doctor would leave the impression that the nurse does not care about the client's concerns or dismisses them as unimportant.
Rationale 4: A closed question (Have you had surgery before?) does not allow the client to offer much information, besides yes/no or one-word answers.
