Answer to Question 1

3
A positive personal identity lessens the possibility of future mental health problems.

Answer to Question 2

B
Asking for others to share their experiences will facilitate discussion of an issue. Giving information may serve to close off discussion of the issue because it sounds final. Suggesting a focus on the positives implies a discussion of the issue is not appropriate. Suggesting other possible feelings is inappropriate at this point, considering the patient has identified feelings of sadness and seems to have a desire to explore this feeling. Focusing on other feelings will derail discussion of the patient's grief for his perceived lost potential.
