Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

C
Powerlessness is a subjective feeling that expresses the client's belief that he cannot control the events in his life. The nurse can make this diagnosis when there is sufficient validation from the client that he, indeed, feels out of control and has given up.
