Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback: Clients with dependent personality disorder are very passive, so asking questions to gain information is an assertive first step in problem solving. Being polite, controlling emotional outbursts, and requesting assistance appropriately are not behaviors which increase problem-solving skills.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most appropriate reply by the nurse is to normalize the son's feelings and provide a resource to help the son deal with feelings of guilt by giving information about an available support group.
