Answer to Question 1

C
More than adults, depressed children and adolescents are often irritable. Their irritability may lead to aggressive behavior. In addition to being irritable, depressed children may be indecisive or have problems concentrating. Depressed children lack energy and motivation, which is commonly seen in depressed adults.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse and client together can determine whether there was a successful resolution of a crisis. However, the client's confidence in returning to a normal life is the best example of a good outcome.
