Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A health care provider can help to reduce situational stress factors for individuals. Providing the student with a list of resources is one way to begin this process, as part of secondary prevention strategies. This is not a medical or psychiatric emergency, so calling 911 is not necessary. Not everyone who has sadness needs medications; some need counseling only. Not enough information is given to know whether the student would be best suited to leave college.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
During the evaluation stage, the nurse compares current stress-related symptoms against established measurable outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Selecting appropriate interventions and establishing goals are part of the planning process.
