Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Role conflicts arise when there are incompatibilities with expectations. The client is expected to be at work, care for children, and make dinner. All of these expectations could lead to the client's experiencing role conflict. Role mastery occurs when a person's behaviors meet social expectations. Role ambiguity occurs when expectations are unclear and people do not know what to do or how to do it and are unable to predict the reactions of others to their actions. Self-esteem is one's own judgment of one's worth.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

In primary appraisal, the client assesses the potential for benefit, harm, loss, threat, or challenge in a situation. The client asking the nurse if she has cancer is engaging in a primary appraisal. The client holding her breath while the nurse is talking is evaluating coping resources and options. This is a secondary appraisal. The client who sits in the dressing room and cries is applying a coping resource. This is coping. The client who schedules the procedure at the earliest possible appointment is engaging in reappraisal, which is an ongoing reinterpretation of the situation based on new information.
