A middle-aged man is admitted to the hospital through the emergency room after injury in an auto accident.
 
  Though his injuries are not massive and he has a good chance for recovery, he makes angry and rude comments to the staff and refuses to cooperate with his treatment plan. The nurse assesses this client's recent history and family structure and learns that he has lost his job recently and his wife is pregnant. The nurse understands that this man's behavior is related to: a. feeling powerless
  b. dislike of the staff
  c. a personality disorder
  d. poor treatment by staff

A
The man's behavior is related to feelings of powerlessness. The man's feelings of powerlessness relate to events that are seemingly outside of his control, such as his recent unemployment and his upcoming child. He is experiencing anxiety as a result of this, and his hostile and rude behavior is an attempt to cope by exerting control over some part of his life.
