Answer to Question 1

2
Resilience is a process that involves protective factors against stress, having an internal locus of control, having a personal responsibility in managing life, as is synonymous with inner strength. Emotion-focused coping includes the behaviors of avoidance, wishful thinking, and self-blame. Compliance and adherence are terms used to describe a client following a prescribed medical or treatment regime.

Answer to Question 2

3
Many clients do not inform their health care providers about their use of alternative medicines. This could have a disastrous effect because of interactions between the herbal supplements and medications. The nurse should encourage the client to inform her physician of all herbal remedies she is taking. The other choices could cause the client harm and should not be done.
