Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
High-quality social support enhances mental and physical health and acts as a significant buffer
against distress. Low-quality support relationships are known to affect a person's coping
effectiveness negatively.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client's behavior, the intervention techniques used, and the environment in which the incident
occurred are important to establish realistic outcomes and effective nursing interventions. Discussing
views about the theoretical origins of aggression would be less effective.
