Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
The patient's verbalization is consistent with spiritual distress. Moreover, the patient's description of being unable to provide for and burdening the family suggests ineffective role performance. No data support diagnoses of adult failure to thrive, impaired social interaction, or decisional conflict.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
No chronic disease explains the symptoms for patients with complex somatic system disorder. Patients report multiple symptoms; and gastrointestinal, sexual, and pseudoneurological symptoms are common. This disorder is more common is women than in men.
