Answer to Question 1

A
The correct entry suggests that weight, sleep pattern, and mood are returning to normal. The other entries suggest that symptoms of depression continue to be present.

Answer to Question 2

B
Trust building is essential to developing a nursepatient relationship. Firm limit-setting is rarely necessary when working with a patient with schizoid personality disorder. Involvement in activities might be difficult at first, because the patient will be highly uncomfortable around people. The patient must trust the nurse before responding to encouragement to express feelings.
