Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The goal of family therapy is to increase the likelihood that improvements in the child's mental health will occur. Involving step-parents in family therapy builds support in the home for these gains with consistent and sustained family patterns. Reliving past events and related feelings may occur as part of play therapy. Speaking for the child is not a goal of family therapy. Providing a safe environment for interaction is another aspect of increasing the likelihood that improvements will occur; however, it is not a goal of family therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: If a child uses certain language to describe a feeling or experience, the nurse should attempt to use that language in further understanding the child's experience. The point of the nurse's response is not to address the child's bad behavior, but to discuss whatever subject the child introduced. The nurse's open-ended response allows the child to follow his or her own thoughts rather than provide specific information. The nurse is not simply reflecting the child's experience but stimulating further discussion.
