Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Self-awareness is most important because knowledge of self is the first step toward an effective nurseclient relationship. An extroverted personality is not needed to work effectively with mood-disordered clients. Many personality types are able to work with clients. The ability to sympathize is a barrier to an effective therapeutic relationship. Good recall does not ensure effective work with mood-disordered clients. If necessary, a nurse may take notes to assist with recall.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Reappraisal involves an ongoing reinterpretation based on new information; the client is rethinking the mistaken idea that diet was not important. Primary appraisal involves assessing benefit or harm. Secondary appraisal involves evaluating one's coping resources and options. The person exhibiting coping skills applies the resources and options.
