Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Clients who have undergone a mastectomy learn to exercise the arm on the surgical side by combing their hair, squeezing a soft ball, finger-climbing the vertical surface of a wall, and swinging a rope attached to a doorknob. Passive ROM would not significantly aid the client's recovery of normal function. Weight-training would pose a risk of injury and the client should aim to perform ADLs with the affected side rather than neglecting it.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client has used nontherapeutic coping strategies such as mind- and mood-altering substances to cope with stress. Negative coping strategies may provide immediate temporary relief from a stressor, but they eventually cause problems. Therapeutic coping strategies usually help the person to acquire insight, gain confidence to confront reality, and develop emotional maturity. Also, the client has not used an antidepressant strategy.
