Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The midlife transition occurs between the ages of 40 and 45 years. Individuals face the reali-zation that the failure to accomplish all of life's goals leads first to disappointment and then to the reformulation of earlier goals. The remaining options do not show a reforming of orig-inal goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Promoting an attractive physical appearance will assist patients in meeting the need for self-esteem. Patients receive positive feedback when appearance is attractive. The remaining options are not directly focused on self-esteem but rather belonging and safety.
