Answer 1

The answer to this is choice C

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt C. \ Helps \ you \ feel \ at \ ease}$

Explanation:

Bedside manner is the manner a physician has towards a patient. A physician with good bedside manner is caring, empathetic, polite and a good listener.

Let's examine the answer choices.

If a physician rushes through the appointment (A) they could make the patient feel unimportant, while missing important details.

If they don't listen or answer questions (B) the patient feels ignored. The doctor could also make an incorrect diagnosis if they don't listen to how the patient feels.

If a patient is left out of decision making (D), once again, they feel insignificant.

The best choice is C. Helps you feel at ease. If a physician helps calm a patient so they are at ease, it is good bedside manner.
