Question 1 of 5
Roger has been seen agitated, shouting and running. As Nurse Aida approaches, he shouts and swear, calling Aida names. Nurse Aida told Roger 'That is an unacceptable behavior Roger, Stop and go to your room now.' The situation is most likely in what phase of NPR?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This scenario fits the Working phase (C). Roger's agitation and Aida's response setting boundaries suggest an established relationship where interventions address behaviors. Pre-Orientation (A) is pre-contact, Orientation (B) builds trust, not confrontation, and Termination (D) ends care. In Peplau's Working phase, the nurse actively helps the client manage issues, as Aida does here, making C the likely phase.
Question 2 of 5
Myra told Budek 'I cannot sleep, I stay away all night' Budek told her 'You have difficulty sleeping' This is what type of therapeutic communication technique?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Budek's 'You have difficulty sleeping' is restating (B), rephrasing Myra's 'I cannot sleep' to show listening. Reflecting (A) echoes feelings (e.g., 'You're restless?'). Exploring (C) probes (e.g., 'Why can't you?'). Clarification (D) seeks meaning (e.g., 'What keeps you awake?'). Restating validates Myra's issue, per communication theory, making B correct.
