Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
The behaviors mentioned in the situation are congruent with criteria for the diagnosis of chronic low self-esteem. 2. The client's symptoms go beyond powerlessness. 3. Hopelessness does not involve feelings of guilt and shame. 4. The data are not consistent with a diagnosis of ineffective coping.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
This statement indicates indecision and suggests that problem solving is still a client problem. Option 1 shows dislike of the physician. Option 3 expresses a preference. Option 4 is concerned with self-esteem.
