Answer to Question 1

D
Emotional responses are largely dependent on cognitive appraisals of the significance of environmental cues. The nursing diagnosis of situational low self-esteem is used for individuals who have a negative perception of self-worth in response to a current situation. This client's cognitive appraisal of the situation has led to the diagnosis of major depressive disorder and low self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

C
In selective abstraction the individual focuses attention on evidence that is viewed as a failure (not having twins) rather than any successes (a healthy baby) that have occurred.
