Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Regression is a maladaptive behavior in which the client returns to an earlier method of behaving, as seen in the child who is now bedwetting. Compensation is overcoming a perceived weakness by emphasizing a more desirable trait. Displacement is transferring an emotional reaction from one object or person to another. Reaction formation is exhibiting behaviors that are the opposite of what the client would really like to do.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The client is stating his stressors and a reaction to the stressor when he states, I am so tired. This would support Stress Overload. Defensive Coping would be not appropriate as he can state stressors in his life. He does not express Hopelessness in his statement to the nurse. The nurse needs more data, such as difficulty falling asleep and interrupted sleep, to support Disturbed Sleep Pattern.
