Answer to Question 1

1. Interrupted Family Processes and Hopelessness

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 interrupted family processes. Functional family processes and ineffective coping are not diagnoses related to cognitive behavioral assessment. Pseudo-hostility is not a nursing diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

A
NSAIDs are subject to the ceiling effect. The ceiling effect means that when the dose of medication is increased above a certain level, the analgesic effect remains the same and only the adverse effects continue to increase.
