Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Nurses promote wellness by asking older adults to talk about the meaning of life events that they have experienced. Asking about how cares have been accomplished does not assist the client. Nurses promote psychosocial wellness by encouraging older adults to express their feelings about decisions (not tell them how to feel) and help them identify effective ways of coping, even when they are not happy about the decision.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Making tangible changes to address a problem, such as changing lifestyle to accommodate a new diagnosis, demonstrates a problem-focused approach to coping. Seeking support is emotion focused and seeking a second opinion is not necessarily a solution.
