Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: One way to promote resilience is to encourage patients to help others, when appropriate. It is also important to identify patients' strengths through assessment and nurture these strengths by aligning them with patients' goals. Undermining patient's confidence or willingness to use their unique resources does not promote resilience.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Resilient individuals see setbacks as temporary and necessary. Resting from stresses or social pressures are not necessary steps in training that promotes resilience. Expressing anger is not associated with resilience.
