Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

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 other 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

Answer: D

There are five aspects of spirituality. Becoming involves reflection and allowing life to unfold to know who one is. This is what the client is demonstrating. Value is having cherished beliefs and standards. Meaning is having purpose. Connecting is relating to others or to an Ultimate Other.
