Answer to Question 1

C, D
Rationale: Anergia refers to a lack of energy. Anhedonia refers to the inability to find pleasure or
meaning in life; thus planning should include measures to accommodate psychomotor retardation
and instill hopefulness. Option A: Anergia is lack of energy, not excessive energy. Option B:
Anhedonia does not necessarily imply the presence of guilty ruminations.

Answer to Question 2

B
Chronic low self-esteem and powerlessness are interwoven in the client's statements. No data
support the other diagnoses.
