Answer to Question 1

1. Genetic makeup
2. Age
3. Developmental level
5. Spiritual and religious beliefs

Rationale:
Internal variables that affect people's health include biologic, psychologic, and cognitive dimensions. Biologic dimensions include genetic makeup, gender, age, and developmental level. Psychologic dimensions include the mindbody interactions. Cognitive dimensions include lifestyle choices and spiritual and religious beliefs. Environment is an example of an external variable that affects a person's health.

Answer to Question 2

1. Risk for Other-Directed Violence.

Rationale:
The client expresses the desire to kill the parents, sothe nursing diagnosis most appropriate at this time is risk for other-directed violence. Interrupted family processes, deficient knowledge, and ineffective coping may be appropriate diagnoses, too, but the priority is to address the client's risk for violence.
