Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
In a healthy family the preservation of a positive emotional climate is more highly valued than doing what is right.. If the children are often grounded for infractions of rules, this may be an indicator of less-than-optimal family functioning, and this warrants further assessment by the nurse. The remaining options represent indicators of a functional family, including effective problem resolution, maintenance of emotional contact across generations, and the promotion of personal growth and creativity, respectively.
