Answer to Question 1

D
A BSN-prepared nurse is not able to conduct family therapy but can determine the need for referral
to counseling. Option A is premature. Option C is not a nursing intervention.

Answer to Question 2

C
Subgrouping occurs when a small group is isolated within a larger group and functions separately,
having more loyalty to the subgroup than to the larger group. Option A: Cohesiveness refers to the
togetherness of the group. In this case the group lacks cohesion. Option B: Confrontation refers to
questioning a member in a challenging, yet supportive, way. Option D: Countertransference refers to
the therapist's reaction to a group member.
