Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The advanced practice nurse role includes individual, group, and family psychotherapist; educator of nurses, other professions, and the community; clinical supervisor; consultant to professional and nonprofessional groups; and researcher. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is an aspect of psychotherapy. The distracters describe actions of a nurse generalist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Depression is often associated with impulse control disorder. The correct nursing diagnosis refers to the patient's dysfunctional management of feelings associated with upcoming changes to the family. The teen displays self-imposed isolation. The distracters are not supported by data in the scenario.
