Answer to Question 1

B
Duvall has identified tasks at different stages of family development. These tasks help the nurse to forecast predictable issues that families may face. For example, the nurse would be able to forecast predictable tasks in the childbearing family. Duvall's theory does not provide information on how to reorganize family rules, formulate solutions to problems, or integrate stability and change.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse must report any violent threats to the school's administration immediately. The best approach is to encourage the witness to tell school authorities exactly what was seen.
