Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
From a psychoanalytic perspective, understanding the use of ego defense mechanisms is important in making determinations about maladaptive behaviors, in planning care for clients to assist in creating change, or in helping clients accept themselves as unique individuals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The nurse should identify that the child using swear words in kindergarten has not successfully completed the identifying oneself stage according to Peplau's interpersonal theory. During this stage of early childhood, a child learns to structure self-concept by observing how others interact with him or her.
