Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The most appropriate nursing diagnosis and intervention for the husband is dysfunctional grieving; AD support group. Clients with AD are often at risk for trauma and have significant self-care deficits that require more care than a spouse may be able to provide.

Answer to Question 2

C
The working phase of the therapeutic relationship has periods of growth that are accompanied by episodes of resistance. Changing one's behavior is very hard work. It requires energy and self-disclosure. Clients often feel self-conscious, shameful, and vulnerable during this time.
