Answer to Question 1

C
Pain is considered a physiological warning of tissue damage, and as such would take priority over
the other client problems listed. Pain management begins with assessment. Once the level of pain
has been assessed, appropriate intervention can occur. Intervention may be necessary before further
psychosocial assessment can take place.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Avoidance is a negative response to stress, predisposing the individual to the untoward effects of
stress. Options A, B, and C present positive coping responses.
