Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
When couples are dealing with infertility, feelings of grief and loss are common as they accept that they cannot conceive naturally. Different emotional coping styles between men and women may add to an already stressful situation. The effects of infertility on couples' psychological well-being are significant and can be deeply distressing. For almost 10 years, researchers have noted that health problems, loss of self-esteem, feelings akin to mourning, sexual distress, depression, guilt, anxiety, frustration, emotional distress, and marital problems are associated with infertility.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Critically ill clients with life-threatening myocardial infarctions may present with altered emotions, cognition, and behaviors requiring prompt attention, not only from the medical team but also from consulting psychiatric clinicians. Acute cardiac changes can severely compromise normal coping strategies (Davidson et al., 2006).
