Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Feelings of worth, self-confidence, and adequacy are desired outcomes for a client with low self-esteem. 1. Security is associated with Maslow's need for safety and security and would be an appropriate outcome for a client experiencing fear. 2. Self-fulfillment is related to self-actualization needs and might be associated with a wellness diagnosis. 3. Acceptance is re-lated to love and belonging needs and could be associated with a social isolation diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The temporal lobe is involved with motivation and memory.
