Answer to Question 1

C
The reported 19 increase represents only documented cases; rates are most likely higher.

Answer to Question 2

D
Determining possible solutions to the problem is the only outcome that addresses the etiology statement of the nursing diagnosis. The diagnosis does not suggest a risk for self-directed violence, and it would be unrealistic to expect such a quick return to previous functioning in a crisis situation. Reducing anxiety is unrelated to the specified nursing diagnosis.
