Answer to Question 1

4. Suppression

Rationale:
The client is demonstrating suppression, which is the conscious and willful act of putting a thought or feeling out of mind. The client is focusing on her children's needs and not the need to learn how to use the blood glucose machine. Problem solving involves thinking through the threatening situation, using specific steps to arrive at a solution. Structuring is the arrangement or manipulation of a situation so that threatening events do not occur. Self-control is assuming a manner and facial expression that convey a sense of being in control or in charge.

Answer to Question 2

1. There are no data to support the existence of an addictive personality.

Rationale:
There are no data to support the existence of an addictive personality, although individuals who become addicted to substances frequently display an affinity for engaging in risky behaviors. Certain personality traits are associated with risk-taking behaviors and addiction. There is a relationship between personality type and addiction. Age does not play a factor in this scenario.
