Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: A number of assessment rating scales are available for measuring severity of depressive symptoms. Some are meant to be clinician administered, whereas others may be self-administered. Examples of self-rating scales include the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory. One of the most widely used clinician-administered scales is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) is a rating scale that measures involuntary movements associated with tardive dyskinesia.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should understand that this client's development was halted in the symbiotic phase of Mahler's developmental theory, which usually occurs between 1 and 5 months of age. The child has not entered into the separation-individuation phase of development, in which a child establishes the understanding of being separate from the mother.
