Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: An intervention for a client with feelings of abandonment would be that the client verbalizes rather than acts on feelings of abandonment. It would not be therapeutic to encourage the client to never get involved in a relationship again. Verbal expression of deep rage would imply affective instability. Suppression of feelings is not a therapeutic intervention.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,4,5
Rationale: The diagnosis and information contained in Axis I-IV can be utilized at all phases of the nursing process in developing and delivering client-centered nursing care.
