Answer to Question 1

B
A nurse working with a child whose behavior is intrusive and immature and who has Impaired Social Interaction as a nursing diagnosis would initially ignore the behaviors so they will diminish over time.

Answer to Question 2

D
The majority of anxious people can identify one or more factors that bring on their anxiety responses. Most of these persons recognize that their feelings of anxiety are far out of proportion to any real dangers, but they are unable to control the anxiety they feel. Both fear and anxiety are common and have likely been part of the human experience for thousands of years.
