Answer to Question 1

3. Behavioral theory.

Rationale:
Behavioral theorists view phobias as conditioned learned responses. They would most likely use behavior modification for this client's agoraphobia. Intrapersonal theorists believe anxiety disorders are based on a reaction to past experiences resulting in the use of defense mechanisms. Interpersonal theorists believe people become anxious when they sense disapproval from significant others. Gender-bias theorists believe that women have been reinforced to behave dependently and become helpless. This client is male so gender-bias theory does not apply.

Answer to Question 2

2. Please talk to your doctor; this drug is contraindicated in pregnancy..

Rationale:
Phenobarbital (Luminal) falls under Pregnancy Category D and is contraindicated in pregnancy. The medication does not need to be increased; it most likely will need to be stopped. The medication does not need to be decreased; it most likely will need to be stopped. Valproic acid (Depakene) is also a Pregnancy Category D drug and is contraindicated during pregnancy.
