Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

To improve or support the client's self-concept, the nurse needs to help the client identify strengths. Reminding the client about education, career, and marriage is identifying strengths. Suggesting the client reduce time spent with parents, telling the client that she is too old to be listening to her parents, or suggesting the client express dissatisfaction with the parents are all inappropriate responses and do not help the client identify strengths.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Laboratory tests are not routinely done to evaluate anxiety because observation is faster and more accurate. However, they may be necessary to rule out medical conditions that can cause anxiety. The elevated blood glucose level could indicate that the client is experiencing stress because of an increase in adrenal function. One physiological indicator of stress is an increase in blood glucose because of the release of glucocorticoids and gluconeogenesis. The other laboratory values are within normal limits.
