Q1. Which option describes veracity as given in the source? [Multiple Choice]
A) nurse's obligation to be dedicated to patients and faithful in performing duties
B) do no harm, safeguard the patient. Risk/benefit with the patient's consent
C) "do good"
D) nurses obligation to be truthful, transparent, forthcoming, candid
Answer: nurses obligation to be truthful, transparent, forthcoming, candid
Explanation: Veracity refers to the duty to be honest and open with patients. Fidelity is about
being dedicated and faithful in duties, not specifically truthfulness. Beneficence ('do good') and
nonmaleficence ('do no harm') refer to different ethical principles related to benefit and harm
rather than truth-telling.
Q2. Which option best defines autonomy in the healthcare context? [Multiple Choice]
A) nurses obligation to be truthful, transparent, forthcoming, candid
B) do no harm, safeguard the patient. Risk/benefit with the patient's consent
C) "do good"
D) individuals right to self-determination with freedom over one's affairs and self
Answer: individuals right to self-determination with freedom over one's affairs and self
Explanation: Autonomy is about a person's right to make their own decisions and control their
own affairs. "Do good" (beneficence) is an ethical duty to promote benefit. Veracity is the
2
, obligation to be truthful and transparent. Nonmaleficence means avoiding harm and ensuring
safety; while related to ethical care, these do not describe a person's right to self-determination.
Q3. Explain how a nurse's 'therapeutic use of self'—using their personality
mindfully and with full awareness—functions to establish an interpersonal
bridge, and why that bridge matters for a client disclosing a personal narrative of
suffering. [Short Answer]
Answer: By intentionally using presence, empathy, and self-awareness the nurse creates
a safe, contained interpersonal bridge that reduces the client's anxiety and builds trust;
this intentional connection gives the client the time and space to disclose their personal
narrative of suffering, which is necessary for understanding and planning care.
Explanation: Therapeutic use of self is an intentional, mindful application of the nurse's
personality and awareness to create safety and trust. That ‘‘bridge’’ is not casual friendliness but
a professional, one-sided relational space in which the client feels contained and understood; this
reduces barriers to honest sharing and enables assessment and intervention. Maintaining
boundaries and purposeful presence keeps the focus on the client's needs while facilitating
disclosure.
Q4. Which phrase best matches the text's definition of justice? [Multiple Choice]
A) individuals right to self-determination with freedom over one's affairs and self
B) upholding what is just, fair treatment and due reward
C) nurses obligation to be truthful, transparent, forthcoming, candid
D) nurse's obligation to be dedicated to patients and faithful in performing duties
Answer: upholding what is just, fair treatment and due reward
Explanation: Justice in this context is about fairness — ensuring just and fair treatment and
appropriate reward or distribution. Veracity is about truth-telling, not fairness. Fidelity concerns
dedication and faithfulness to patients. Autonomy deals with the individual's right to decide, not
fairness across people.
Q5. Using the timeline diagram (Steps 1–4), which phase corresponds to the part
of the relationship where the nurse supports the client, explores thoughts and
feelings, and helps the client take action? [Multiple Choice]
A) Pre-orientation/introduction of nurse-patient relationship
B) Resolution/Termination phase of therapeutic relationship
C) Working phase of nurse-patient relationship
3
, D) Orientation/Introduction of nurse-patient relationship
Answer: Working phase of nurse-patient relationship
Explanation: The working phase is characterized by active support, exploration of thoughts and
feelings, and facilitating client action. Orientation focuses on trust-building and assessment, and
pre-orientation is information-gathering before that. Resolution/termination addresses
independence and ending the relationship, not the active therapeutic work.
Q6. Which statement best describes countertransference? [Multiple Choice]
A) Sharing the minimal amount of personal detail necessary for therapeutic relationship
B) Displaces towards the nurse feelings formed towards another person in the past
C) The unconscious response of the nurse to the client that may involve projecting
unresolved conflicts and may require self-reflection or termination of the relationship
D) Is the ability to use one's personality mindfully to establish an interpersonal bridge
Answer: The unconscious response of the nurse to the client that may involve projecting
unresolved conflicts and may require self-reflection or termination of the relationship
Explanation: Countertransference is the nurse's unconscious emotional reaction to a client, often
a projection of the nurse's unresolved conflicts; it can interfere with therapy and may require
reflection or changing the care relationship. Displacement of client feelings toward the nurse
describes transference, not countertransference. Using one's personality mindfully is the
therapeutic use of self — a deliberate technique. Sharing minimal personal detail is a guideline
for professional boundaries, not a description of countertransference.
Q7. Which statement best defines self-awareness? [Multiple Choice]
A) the capacity to recognize one's self as separate and individual from others and the
environment
B) nurses obligation to be truthful, transparent, forthcoming, candid
C) the ability to understand one's values, beliefs, and attitudes and response in
situations that pose conflict
D) individuals right to self-determination with freedom over one's affairs and self
Answer: the capacity to recognize one's self as separate and individual from others and
the environment
Explanation: Self-awareness refers to recognizing yourself as a distinct person — your identity
and separateness from others and the environment. This differs from understanding your values
or ethical duties. The values/beliefs option describes awareness of internal attitudes and how
they guide conflict responses, not the basic recognition of selfhood. The veracity option is about
