Which of the following activities may be prescribed for a client with adjustment disorder with anxious mood as a constructive outlet for tension and anxiety while enhancing self-esteem?
 
  1. Knitting scarves for a homeless shelter
  2. Painting a paint-by-number picture
  3. Working on a large picture puzzle
  4. Engaging in physical exercise

Question 2

The nurse presenting a seminar on Erikson's developmental theory is correct in stating that this theory supports the belief that adjustment disorders usually occur:
 
  1. When family dysfunctional behavior causes chronic stress
  2. After the individual experiences a sudden loss
  3. When failure to complete closure exists
  4. When age-appropriate tasks are not completed

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Physical exercise may assist in relieving tension and promoting feelings of well being. 1. Knitting is tedious and requires steadiness, which the client may not have if symptoms of anxiety include jitteriness. 2. This activity requires fine motor coordination, not always present if a client is anx-ious. 3. Some clients find puzzles frustrating and become more tense while working on one.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Erikson's theory postulates that difficulties in adjustment occur when age-appropriate behaviors or tasks are not completed, resulting in an inability to move forward with developmental tasks. Options 1, 2, and 3 are not related to Erikson's theory.
