Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, E

The client is experiencing both behavioral (nail chewing) and physical (foot tapping) indications of stress. Reading a magazine, checking a phone, and talking with others are not indications of stress.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The elective termination of pregnancy, or an abortion, is a treatment that may cause this client spiritual distress. Blood transfusion, a specialized cardiac diet, and a below the knee amputation would not cause this client spiritual distress.
