Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect: This is not a secure attachment.
B Correct: This is a description of avoidant attachment.
C Incorrect: This is not an ambivalent attachment. In this type of attachment the infant understands the caregiver is not reliable in meeting physiological and psychological needs and remains close before separation, is distressed during separation, demonstrates a combination of contact-seeking behaviors with temper tantrums during reunion, and may display indifference then comforted by the caregiver.
D Incorrect: This is not a detached attachment. Detached is not a type of attachment.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
The use of the NOC and NIC improves data collection and uses standardized nursing language, which is an aid to better prioritizing of patient needs. The use of the standardized language is a support to nursing research. These classifications do not reduce the need for accurate assessments.
