1. Anxiety.
2. Acute Pain.
3. Social Isolation.
4. Low Self-Esteem.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Anxiety is appropriate, since the client is discussing the impact of the communicable disease on work and home life.
Rationale 2: Acute Pain is not appropriate, since the client is not experiencing discomfort.
Rationale 3: Social Isolation is not appropriate, since the client has not been placed in transmission precaution at this time.
Rationale 4: Low Self-Esteem is incorrect because the client is not expressing negative comments about himself.
