Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The daughter has many stressors and has few external supports. Enrolling in a stress man-agement group would provide support as well as teach new adaptive coping strategies. Being required to read the law is threatening. The remaining options are premature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This diagnosis is supported by data in the scenario. Violence has occurred, so a risk diagnosis is not appropriate. The remaining diagnoses are not supported by data.
