Answer to Question 1

D
Low self-esteem and negative body image can be predictors for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. High self-esteem would help a person cope with work failure. Stressful life events when balanced with positive issues, such as receipt of a scholarship, are less likely to induce depression. Suicidal tendencies are based more on the individual's frame of mind than on individual events such as health problems and developmental milestones.

Answer to Question 2

B
The effectiveness of pain relief measures is determined by the patient. If the patient is satisfied with the amount of pain relief, then pain measures are effective. A patient who is sleeping and is difficult to arouse is possibly oversedated; the nurse needs to assess this patient further. The amount of medication left in the PCA syringe does not indicate whether pain management is effective. Pressing the button shows that the patient knows how to use the PCA but does not evaluate pain management.
