Answer to Question 1

D
The therapist using rational-emotive therapy helps the patient identify irrational thoughts and replace them with new, more positive self-statements to enable the patient to think, feel, and behave differently. The other options do not make use of the combination of cognitive, emotive, and behavioral components.

Answer to Question 2

B
Caregiver role strain refers to a caregiver's felt or exhibited difficulty in performing a family caregiver role. In this case one parent exhibits stress-related illness, and the other exhibits increased anxiety. The other nursing diagnoses are not substantiated by the information given and are incorrectly formatted (one nursing diagnosis should not be the etiology for another).
