Answer to Question 1

A
Relaxation techniques can be helpful in diminishing pain perception and reactions to pain. Option B:
Cognitive behavior therapy may be useful to the client but would not be a nursing intervention that
can be independently initiated by a basic level nurse. Options C and D refer to assessments rather
than intervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This nursing diagnosis is defined as ability to experience and integrate meaning and purpose in life
through connectedness with self, others, art, music, literature, nature, or a power greater than self.
The scenario provides no data to support the diagnoses in the other options.
