Answer to Question 1

B
The client may be denying the seriousness of his condition or he may simply not know about risk
factors and posthospital treatment plans. By receiving health teaching regarding risk factors related
to his condition and his treatment plan, denial can be diminished and knowledge can be increased.
The defining characteristics are not present for any of the other diagnoses listed as options.

Answer to Question 2

B
Survivors need outlets for their feelings about the loss and the deceased person. Self-help groups
provide peer support while survivors work through feelings of loss, anger, and guilt. Option A would
not provide the support necessary to work through feelings of loss associated with the suicide of a
family member. Option C is not geared to loss resolution. Option D would probably not provide
sufficient time to work through the issues associated with a death by suicide.
