Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 5, 6
Positive health behaviors are activities related to maintaining, attaining, or regaining good health and preventing illness.
Although spending quality time with his children is an admirable behavior and will certainly pos-itively affect the parent-child relationship, it is not considered a positive health behavior.
While limiting nicotine intake to 3 cigarettes daily is a great first step, it would require smoking cessation to be considered a positive health behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
In the course of providing care, a nurse is able to observe changes in the client's self-concept (or in the self-concepts of family members) and develop a care plan to help them adjust to the changes resulting from the illness.
This option is appropriate only when the client shows an interest in such a referral. The initial most therapeutic intervention is to revise his care plan to address the issue of depression and grieving over his current situation.
Although this may be appropriate in some cases, the nurse should not offer false or unrealistic hope to the client. The initial most therapeutic intervention is to revise his care plan to address the issue of depression and grieving over his current situation.
Although the health care provider should be informed of the client's signs, the initial intervention is to revise his care plan to address the issue of depression and grieving over his current situation.
