Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When existing coping skills are not adequate to deal with a stressor, and new coping skills have not been developed, symptoms appear. These symptoms may fit the DSM-IV-TR crite-ria for adjustment disorder. The lack of emotional support is not applicable to the situation. The disorder does not result from use of denial since patients usually recognize that a prob-lem exists. Overcompensation is not related to the onset of adjustment disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cognitive therapy addresses symptom removal by identifying and correcting distorted nega-tive thinking. An overly cheerful mannerism is an insensitive nontherapeutic approach that will reinforce patient negative thinking about self. To ignore negative statements while rein-forcing positive thinking is considered a behavioral approach. Seeking to uncover uncon-scious conflicts is a psychodynamic approach.
