Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: AD with depressed mood is the most commonly diagnosed adjustment disorder. The clinical presentation is one of predominant mood disturbance, although less pronounced than that of major depression. The symptoms, such as depressed mood, tearfulness, and feelings of hopelessness, exceed what is an expected or normative response to an identified stressor.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The nurse should associate the cultural belief that families are maledominated, with clear male-female role distinctions with the client's abusive behavior. The father in the Latin American family usually has the ultimate authority.
