Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The patient has placed barriers between self and others. His statement referring to the nurse not wanting to be around him suggests use of projection as a means of defending against anxiety. Data given in the scenario do not support the diagnosis of fear. Neither lack of knowledge nor cognitive limitation is suggested in the scenario. Anger is not a NAN-DA-accepted diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Effective health promotion before stress and loss regardless of age is most helpful. The re-maining options provide help around the time of loss, which is helpful but not as effective as long-term help throughout a person's life.
