Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The patient describes feelings of the lack of control over life events. No direct mention is made of hopelessness or chronic low self-esteem. The patient's thought processes are not shown to be altered at this point.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Only the correct answer focuses on situational support. The incorrect options focus on the patient's perception of the precipitating event.
