Answer to Question 1

C
The client's relationship with his mother has contributed to failing completion of the developmental task of intimacy in Erikson's stage of intimacy versus isolation (20 to 30 years). This has resulted in behaviors such as withdrawal, social isolation, aloneness, and the inability to form lasting relationships, leading to his diagnosis of depression.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
The nurse should remain calm when dealing with an angry client. It is important to acknowledge the client's behavior and assist the client to a less stimulating environment.
