Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Revamping the marital relationship after children move out of the family of origin indicates the family is moving through its stages of development. Strict family boundaries or roles interfere with flexibility and use of outside resources. Adolescents should have some input into deciding their activities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Family therapy is indicated, and the nurse should provide a referral. Reporting the child to law enforcement would undermine trust and violate confidentiality. The other distracters may occur later.
