Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Respiratory problems can be frightening and cause anxiety. Patients need a complete understanding of the disease to help reduce anxiety. Reducing environmental irritants could reduce the patient's symptoms. Explaining how to use transportable oxygen will increase the patient's independence. Encouraging the patient to avoid temperature extremes could help reduce the patient's symptoms. Recommending that the patient spend most time out of the home could exacerbate the patient's symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Feedback:
Deriving satisfaction from oneself rather than occupational roles, finding pleasure in spite of physical limitations, and determining meaning in the life one has lived are all aspects of Erikson's outcome of ego integrity or despair. Financial independence is not a central component of this outcome.
