Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Statistics tell us that children raised by a depressed parent have a 30 to 50 chance of developing an emotional disorder. The chronicity of the parent's depression means it has been a consistent stressor. The other factors do not create ongoing stress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The patient demonstrates an inability to problem solve by using adaptive behaviors to meet life's demands and roles. The defining characteristics are not present for the other nursing diagnoses. The patient has never mentioned hopelessness, low self-esteem, or disturbed personal identity.
