Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
If the client does not respond with a statement showing empathy for the child, cognitive distor-tion is present. Similarly, if the client uses denial or rationalization as he or she discusses the dis-order, the nurse can assess the presence of cognitive disorder. The other options, while valid questions, do not assess for cognitive distortion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Having enlarged breasts at the time of puberty and thereafter is a characteristic finding in indi-viduals with Klinefelter's syndrome. 1. Aspermatogenesis is an expected finding. 2. FSH level is expected to be low. 3. This is not an expected finding.
