Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B

Exercise has been known to improve the status of clients diagnosed with situational depression by elevating mood, relieving stress, and helping with focus so that other tasks and responsibilities can be completed. Exercise does more than give someone something to do. Exercise does improve body oxygenation; however, that is not the reason why it has been effective for this client. Exercise should not be seen as a short-term diversion for this client because it is a habit that should be maintained in the future.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The client has returned to work, cares for her family, and reflects on her life and future. These are all indications that the client has the ability to work through the grief process, which will reduce the negative consequences associated with situational depression. The client is not denying the death of her mother. The client is not demonstrating anxiety or ineffective coping.
