Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
It is not unusual for clients with mental disorders to bring up resolved problems and present them as new issues during the resolution phase. The client is most likely attempting to prolong the nurseclient relationship. The client may be experiencing anxiety about the relationship ending. Anger typically would be demonstrated toward the nurse or displaced onto others rather than through the use of bringing up resolved problems. The client's actions do not indicate that additional therapy is needed, nor that the therapy was ineffective.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Although information about allergies, hospitalizations, and family history are important in the orientation phase, it is most important for the nurse to ask a client with a mental disorder about the nature of the problem from the client's perspective. Some clients deny that a problem exists; other clients may have misperceptions about the problem.
