Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
When caring for a patient with altered or threatened self-concept, the nurse should first identify the patient's strengths and successful coping mechanisms before formulating and implementing a plan of care. It is important to not take away a person's defensive processes until another method of coping with anxiety has been developed.
