Answer to Question 1

C
Causative and/or contributing factors would be the first priority in guiding the rest of the care planning process. The second priority for a client with this nursing diagnosis would be to assist the client to manage any threatening feelings, followed by promoting wellness. Determining which medications are effective is not a nursing priority for this nursing diagnosis; rather, this is more of a physician-initiated action.

Answer to Question 2

D
This behavior is more indicative of a gender identity disorder than the other options. This behavior fulfills the need for this girl to identify with the male gender. Playing sports typically considered boys' sports and having more male friends are not considered behaviors of gender identity disorders unless other characteristic behaviors of the disorder occur. Not wanting to change clothes in front of anyone is a common behavior that reflects a 13-year-old's need for privacy.
