Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation: Stress relates to an individual's perception of demands being made on him or her, as well as the individual's perception of his or her ability to meet those demands. Stress may be described in numerous ways, including as a precipitant of anxiety. Stress is not caused by anxiety; rather, anxiety is the result of stress. Stress is not related to the individual's perception of others.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Because the patient is not in imminent danger, the desire to involve others, whether it is the principle or the girl's parents, must be guided by the patient's choices and the need to respect confidentiality. While developing the nurse-patient relationship, the nurse must learn to respond to the patient rather than react to the patient. Ignoring the issue does not address the patient's needs.
