Answer to Question 1

Violence
Violence is a type of physical activity that is socially unacceptable.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patients with breast cancer are often helped by the support and knowledge shared in support group meetings. Techniques for coping can be learned from women who have had similar experiences. There is no indication that the patient is demonstrating negative or distorted cognitions. Monitoring stress level is insufficient in that it is assessment but not interventionit does nothing to reduce anxiety or promote coping. The patient would also need to be taught stress-management techniques. Pain-management needs are not evident.
