Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The assessment information supports the nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Coping. There is no information related to problems with thought processes. Low self-esteem may be a problem, but there is no information to support this diagnosis. The client also may be experiencing hopelessness, but the situation does not support this.

Ans: D
In a secondary appraisal, the person explains the outcome of events. During the primary appraisal of a goal, the person determines whether (1) the goal is relevant, (2) the goal is consistent with his or her values and beliefs, and (3) a personal commitment is present.
