Answer to Question 1

D
A wife who blames her high blood pressure on her husband's preference for salty foods is an example of projection. She is projecting her unhealthy behaviors on her husband instead of taking responsibility for her own health. Denial would be ignoring the problem. Chaining would be associating one behavior with another. Reframing would be replacing negative expectations and associations with positive ones.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: This client is taking aspirin and ginseng. Both of these substances increase bleeding times which result in bruising and an inability to clot after injuries. The client should be encouraged to discuss the use of supplements with the primary health-care provider in order to prevent further interactions between medications and dietary supplements. The client should not be encouraged to consume foods rich in vitamin K to induce better clotting. The greatest priority rests with reducing the problems presented by the dietary supplement. The client should be encouraged to discuss emotional stressors later, but at this time it is most important to address the decreased ability to clot.
