Answer to Question 1

A
The use of anger journals can be a technique used in anger control. The anger control journal allows the individual to express feelings in a much more appropriate manner than acting on the feelings.

Answer to Question 2

B
To determine if a subject's feelings correspond to the nurse's observations, the nurse would ask the client if he or she is experiencing unwanted, persistent, or recurrent thoughts that cannot be controlled. This would indicate that the client is experiencing obsessive thinking.
