Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Nurses are uniquely suited to the role of case management because of their increased emphasis on psychobiology and pharmacology in helping clients cope with alterations in their mental health. Social workers have broad clinical experiences with a variety of clients but do not receive education in pharmacologic treatment regimens. Nurses and social workers are equally adept in developing relationships with clients and using therapeutic communication skills.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Examples of nursing diagnoses that may derive from a cognitive behavioral assessment in preparation for the development of a behavioral contract include Interrupted Family Processes and Hopelessness, Knowledge Deficit, Ineffective Coping, and Dysfunctional Family Processes. Pseudohostility, Functional Family Processes, and Effective Coping are not diagnoses related to cognitive behavioral assessment.
