Answer to Question 1

ANS:
A, B, D
Rationale: Self-identification of strengths that can subsequently be reinforced by the nurse builds
esteem and promotes self-acceptance. Examining negative self-perceptions permits reframing in
positive ways. Identifying positive responses from others helps the client see self in a more positive
light. Option C: This intervention is not directly related to self-esteem enhancement. Option E:
Clients should receive realistic praise. Option F: Realistic levels of client autonomy should be
encouraged because autonomy can be esteem enhancing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
A, B, C, E
Rationale: These assessment findings are consistent with the symptoms of posttraumatic stress
disorder according to the DSM-IV-TR. Option D is consistent with obsessive-compulsive disorder
and option F with panic attack.
