Answer to Question 1

A
Intervention is the phase of the nursing process during which planned interventions are actually implemented. Assessment is the phase of the nursing process when data collection occurs. Planning is the phase of the nursing process when client goals are set and interventions are planned. Diagnosis is the phase of the nursing process following assessment when the client's problem is identified.

Answer to Question 2

C
The adolescent is using the reason of the classmate's financial advantage as a rationalization for stealing the laptop. Denial is refusal to acknowledge conflict, restitution deals with giving back to resolve guilt, and conversion is the channeling of unbearable anxiety into physical signs and symptoms.
