Answer to Question 1

1. Body mass index 36.5

Rationale:
Primary osteoarthritis of the knee is 5 times more common in obese men. The client has a body mass index of 36.5, which is considered obese. Moderate recreational exercise has been shown to decrease the chance of developing osteoarthritis and the progression of manifestations when osteoarthritis is present. Esophageal reflux is not associated with the disorder. Blood pressure is not a known risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis.

Answer to Question 2

1. Rape-Trauma Syndrome

Rationale:
The nursing diagnosis of rape-trauma syndrome applies if the client experiences high levels of anxiety, an inability to discuss the trauma, abrupt changes in relationships with men or changes in sexual behavior, and the onset of phobic reactions. This client is not displaying evidence of readiness for enhanced power. There is no evidence that the client is experiencing relocation stress syndrome or acute confusion.
