Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Patients experiencing mania typically exhibit altered thought processes evidenced by agitation and delusions. Self-care deficit, ineffective coping, and disturbed sleep patterns are not evident in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: Achieving complete remission is an appropriate long-term goal for patients with depressive disorders. Complete remission is possible only with the coordinated efforts of patients, families, and providers. Maintaining adherence with therapy, promoting regular patterns of activity, and anticipating stressors and minimizing functional impairment are appropriate for patients with depressive disorders, as well as for patients with bipolar disorders. Weight restoration is an appropriate goal for patients with anorexia nervosa.
