A physician scolds a nurse. When a family member enters the client's room, that nurse tells the person cruelly that they need to wait until visiting hours.
 
  The supervising nurse should discuss this incident with the nurse, using knowledge that the de-fense mechanism the nurse used was:
  1. Displacement
  2. Projection
  3. Sublimation
  4. Suppression

Question 2

The nurse assesses a young teen client. The client states, I don't care what you say. I want to be just like Mike, the leader of our gang. The nurse understands the defense mechanism being used is:
 
  1. Denial
  2. Humor
  3. Splitting
  4. Identification

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Displacement is transferring a response or feeling toward one person onto another less threaten-ing person, so option 1 is correct. 2. Projection is attributing strong faults to another and is not displayed in this scenario. 3. Sublimation is channeling maladaptive thoughts into socially ac-ceptable behaviors. 4. This is incorrect because suppression is intentionally avoiding thinking about problem areas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Identification is wishing or trying to be like someone else. Denial is an unconscious refusal to acknowledge some reality. Humor is not being used. Splitting is viewing oneself and others as all bad or all good.
