Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
This response reflects the patient's satisfaction with his knowledge of the disease and his ability to make informed decisions. Suggesting limitations has a sense of powerlessness. Dis-cussing what happens after death shows resignation to impending death. Discussing side ef-fects reflects a poor quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Research has shown that, especially with chronic diseases, perceived self-efficacy (internal locus of control) increases the likelihood of managing difficult situations. External locus of control is associated with uncontrollable factors. A particular religion has not been associated with effective coping and the number of significant others have not been influential.
