Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Andresen and associates have conceptualized a five-stage model of recovery called the Psychological Recovery Model. The stages include: Stage 1: Moratorium, Stage 2: Awareness, Stage 3: Preparation, Stage 4: Rebuilding, and Stage 5: Growth. In the growth stage, the individual feels a sense of optimism and hope of a rewarding future. Skills that have been nurtured in the previous stages are applied with confidence, and the individual strives for higher levels of well-being.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse should reinforce positive actions to encourage repetition of desirable behaviors when caring for children diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorder. Behavior therapy is based on the concepts of classical conditioning and operant conditioning.
