Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Psychosocial theorists believe that anxiety can be traced back to birth trauma. Genetic theorists believe that there is a familial predisposition for anxiety disorders. Behavioral theorists believe anxiety is a learned response. Humanistic theorists believe that one is unable to deal with all of the other theories without looking at how they interact with each other.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Evaluating the client weaknesses with regard to learning and making changes will help the nurse discover what other situations requiring behavioral change the client has mastered, and what specific personal or social strengths the client employed in implementing the change. It is helpful to know what the client attempted to change without success, and the specific factors that interfered with the success, of that goal. The questions may result in knowledge of the client's interaction with family members. The questions to the client would not elicit anecdotes from family or friends, or the psychiatrist's progress notes.
