Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Adaptability to adverse circumstances in a young adult's career goals depend on adjustments made throughout childhood and adolescence. Expected financial returns and peer support, although important factors, do not affect the ability to adapt to adverse circumstances in a person's career as much as do adjustments made earlier in life. The parent's involvement in choosing the person's career does not affect the ability to adapt to adverse circumstances.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should discuss methods of hair removal. The nurse can suggest that the client to use a moisturizer for dry skin and refer the client for physical examination if the client is experiencing physical stress. The nurse can counsel the client to increase her calcium intake if she shows signs of osteoporosis.
