Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

This is an imminent, potentially life-threatening concern. Financial worries, although a significant concern, would not take precedence over a potentially life-threatening concern. Questions about travel and other family matters should be addressed, but they are not acute issues. The impact of the illness on the client's brother is a realistic concern, but not acute or life-threatening.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

A diagnosis of cancer affects the whole family, and initial feelings experienced by the sibling may be anger and guilt. Seldom will the sibling be unaffected; however, the response is not abnormal. Although the sibling may want attention, this is not the best response by the nurse.
