Answer to Question 1

A
While the client's response may seem to be an expression of dislike or anger, it is most likely an expression of fear. The client may find him- or herself feeling overwhelmed by fear, depression, and powerlessness over the situation. Previous coping methods may no longer be adequate in helping the client manage these emotions, due to the severity of the situation.

Answer to Question 2

C
This question asks that behaviors for intervention be prioritized. First, it is necessary to help the patient identify the problem and to set criteria for future communications.
