Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The etiology identifies the physiologic, psychological, sociologic, spiritual, and environmental factors believed to be related to the problem as either a cause or a contributing factor. The etiology directs nursing interventions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

Post-trauma syndrome is a NANDA-approved problem statement and being attacked is the correct etiology. Overreaction and mental distress implies a value judgment by the nurse. Needs assistance addresses the need of the client.
