Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Role overload involves having more roles or responsibilities within a role than are manageable. Role overload is common in individuals who unsuccessfully attempt to meet the demands of work and family while trying to find some personal time. Role confusion is an aspect of the developmental task of adolescence and young adulthood (identity versus role confusion). Role ambiguity involves unclear role expectations. Role performance itself is not a stressor unless it is judged ineffective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Negative nonverbal reactions by a nurse to a patient's scar or surgical alterations contribute to the patient's developing a negative body image. Expressions of distaste by the nurse will not facilitate recovery or ongoing communication; encourage physical activity; or promote acceptance of the colostomy opening by adopting a positive nickname.
