Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Reactive attachment disorder (children) is defined as an inability to develop positive attachments to caregivers because of prior social neglect. Acute stress disorder is when a child develops symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder 37 days after a traumatic event. Adjustment disorder is when a child develops emotional symptoms in response to a stressful event that does not meet the criteria of PTSD. Disinhibited social engagement disorder is when the child is inappropriate and overly familiar with strangers.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C
The stronger the resilience, the less likely an individual will experience reactions that lead to maladaptive behaviors and outcomes. An important mental health promotion nursing strategy is enhancing resilience, especially for persons with mental and/or substance abuse problems. Resilience develops in association with a positive self-concept and self-worth, a feeling of being in control one's life, and a feeling of power. Resilience is acquired over time, Positive family and community support also play a role in developing resilience.
