Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Adjustment disorders are short-term disturbances in mood or behavior resulting from identifiable stressors. 1. Psychotic features are not present. 2. Adjustment disorders can occur in any age group. 3. Anxiety and depression may be present, but emphasis is on dealing with identifying and resolving the specific issue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Hyperactivity expends huge amounts of calories and interferes with caloric intake, thus resulting in rapid weight loss. Monitoring weight daily protects the client's physiologic integrity. The other options are concerned with psychosocial integrity.
